• the design responds to the contrasting functional requirements of providing radiation proof bunkers as well as light and welcoming spaces to put patients at ease
• the patient experience has been carefully considered in the provision of light and welcoming waiting areas, minimising corridors, and providing a sheltered courtyard garden
• charitable funding improved the quality of internal finishes and furniture, creating a relaxed, non-clinical feel
