NEW ENTRANCE GATEWAY AND RECEPTION FOR GOLDEN JUBILEE NATIONAL HOSPITAL GETS PLANNING GREEN LIGHT
May 2008

Planning permission has been granted to architects Holmes for a new front entrance and reception area for the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank, outside Glasgow.



The new gateway will be both stylish and practical, and features a stunning V-shaped structure spanning two new arrival points for pedestrians and ambulances. The design of the new gateway will announce the hospital’s main arrival point as well as providing an enhanced visitor experience. The new-look reception area will have increased space and capacity, providing a comfortable facility for patients, staff and visitors.
June Rogers, Director of Business Services, Golden Jubilee National Hospital said:
“We are delighted that this work will go ahead to provide a new entrance and reception area, which enhances the patient experience, is a pleasant and safe working environment for staff and enables us to maintain privacy for patients being transferred by ambulance.”

Callum Houston, the design team’s project partner said:
“Holmes primary objective has been to create an entrance and reception area that is both welcoming and meaningful. We wanted to provide the hospital with an elegant, modern solution to the issue of improving visitor and vehicle access to the building.”
Work on the project begins in June with an estimated completion date of Christmas 2008. The new gateway project will be complemented by a new catering and dining facility, which starts work in Summer 2008.
