The Oak Cancer Centre at The Royal Marsden in London. This striking new building will provide new outpatient facilities, medical day-care and collaboration space for clinical researchers to accelerate cancer diagnosis and treatment for patients
THE PROJECT
The six-storey, 134,000 sq. ft. concrete frame building is targeting a BREEAM Excellent environmental performance rating and will become the centrepiece of an ambitious plan, alongside academic partner, The Institute of Cancer Research, to create a £1 billion cancer research campus – The London Cancer Hub, in Sutton.
The striking design of the building features extensive curtain walling and Brise soleil solar shading elements to its façade, with the project scheduled for completion in summer 2022.
WHAT PHD SUPPLIED
PHD provided the external access for the brickwork façade. Internally, 500 sqm birdcage was erected for the installation of the atrium roof. Shrink-wrap screens were installed to provide weather tight conditions. PHD also provided and installed the goods hoist.
The client was very satisfied with the neat and high quality service from PHD Access. All works were completed within the allocated timescales and budget with minimum amount of labour.
Challenges
The client had water ingress issues to the West side of the building. PHD designed and supplied Tube and Fitting scaffold frames covered with shrink wrap to create a watertight environment.
