Located at the west end of the St. James Hospital campus in Dublin, the New Children’s Hospital (NCH) when completed will be Ireland’s largest ever healthcare project, amalgamating the three existing children’s hospitals at Crumlin, Temple Street and Tallaght. The brief set by the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB), was to create “one of the finest children’s hospitals in the world”. In meeting this challenge, our design delivers state-of-the-art clinical functionality, the highest quality spaces for patients, families and staff, optimisation of adjacencies and flows between departments and creation of an efficient, safe and therapeutic environment, all organised around a simple design vision that was easy to understand but flexible enough to accommodate the contributions of multiple stakeholders while retaining its original clarity.
