Cecily Saunders Institute of Palliative Care
Silcock Dawson is providing a new build facility to house the
first Institute of Palliative Care in the world.
The building will house academics, researchers and carers, and
will accommodate patients suffering with serious or life
threatening diseases. The premises will also provide facilities
for patients’ families to visit on a regular basis.
The engineering services design strategy is based around using
as much natural ventilation as possible and to be as sustainable
and environmentally friendly as possible.
It is expected that the Institute of Palliative Care will be
viewed as a landmark building providing palliative care research
facilities.
Currently palliative care services are accessed predominately by
those diagnosed with cancer. The voluntary sector provides the
majority of specialist palliative care and research into this
sector is seen as essential in this relatively new area of
medicine.
