New Stobhill Hospital now hailed the UK's Best Designed Hospital
Reiach and Hall's New Stobhill Hospital has recently been hailed as the UK's 'Best Designed Hospital', according to the judges of this year's Building Better Healthcare Awards. The coveted 'Award for Best Hospital Design' was presented at the annual Building Better Healthcare Awards 2009 and follows last month's Roses Design Awards where New Stobhill Hospital - the 'Best New Building outside London' - won 'Best Public Building' and the 'Best of the Best' Architecture Grand Prix awards.
The BBH Awards aim to "raise the bar in healthcare building design, by recognising and celebrating all the best achievers from across the field, rewarding excellence in the healthcare built environment". The awards are the biggest healthcare building design event of the year and all shortlisted projects are judged and visited by independent advisors and professionals.
"It’s a stunning hospital…There is no reason why patients shouldn’t feel positive when they go there. It’s not dark or dingy. It is lovely and light. All hospitals should be designed like the Stobhill site in the future." Margaret Watt, Scottish Patients Association.
