Oakwell Centre, Kendray Hospital
Barnsley
A commission by Kier Northern on behalf of Barnsley Primary Care Trust led to us designing The Oakwell Centre, a new Mental Health Unit at Barnsley’s Kendray Hospital site.
The Outcome
The open spaces between the ward buildings contrast hard landscaping with softer, planted areas plus subtle external night lighting. These elements provide important benefits by allowing patients access to attractive external spaces and use the spaces to engage in therapeutic activities.
