Following Ben’s post on green roofs, here’s the sedum one at the Yorkshire Agricultural Centre. The intrepid Heather Parry is pictured with Stuart Falshaw giving the roof some TLC. This piece was in the Yorkshire Post on 14th March.

After an entertaining planning committee panel yesterday, P+HS gained planning permission for Tinshill Medical Centre. Approval of the exact design details have been deferred for the case officer to approve, but we have already been working closely with the planning team to ensure that the crispness of the design is followed through thoroughly.
The medical centre, on Old Otley Road in north Leeds, is approximately 1700m2, and includes pharmacy and GP facilities.

This is what I call timber framing. The Glulam rafters on the farmshop are 675mm deep!

Stage one recovery.
Photograph shows the recently refurbished Recovery area. The previously open recovery area has been enclosed inline with the requirements of HBN26. Tormax glass sliding doors have been introduced, with split sandblasting, to provide privacy for patients and still maintain an visual link between Theatre staff.

Stage One Recovery
Due for handover 3rd November, the photogrpah shows the internal view of the recently refurbished and enclosed Stage one recovery area. All M&E including medical gases have been upgraded. We’ve introduced a central Nurse workstation. The flooring has been setout to mirror the curtain tracks, as previously seen at Nuffield Newcastle. Also as Newcastle we have utilised Reglit glass screens, through out the Theatre department, to break up and provide interest into what would otherwise be large areas of blank walls.

The newly constructed Primary Care Centre in Washington incorporates 10No solar pre-heating panels located on the flat roof. The solar panels face due south and will provide up to 85% of the hot water for this new facility, thus reducing the carbon footprint.
The building also incorporates windcatchers to promote natural ventilation and large areas of brise soliel to reduce solar gain.
Washington PCC is due for completion in August.

Week 40 of the programme, due for completion in June 2008. Scaffold down the photograph shows the rear of the building. This will be the main staff and out of hours entrance. The galvanised pipes running parallel up the gable end are the supply and air extract for the fuel to the biomass bolier. The pellets are pumped upto the hopper room on the first floor, and then gravity feed the boiler on the ground floor.
