Royal Preston Hospital Radiopharmaceutical Production Unit

 

The Challenge

The original site for the RPU at Preston was to have been in a courtyard in the centre of the hospital. Following a review of the feasibility of the proposal, Scott Tallon Walker suggested that the building could be incorporated into the green belt around the perimeter of the hospital site. 

The Building

The resultant scheme which is as much about landscaping as it is architecture was more practical in every regard, particularly in terms of construction and delivery of the cyclotron. 

The Details

It has proved very successful in visual terms as well as passing its radiological and pharmaceutical inspections on first review.
