Plans have been announced for a mega integrated healthcare hub, to be built around Tan Tock Seng Hospital in Singapore, designed by global architecture, urbanism and design practice Broadway Malyan.
‘Health City Novena’ is spearheaded by Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the National Healthcare Group and Singapore Health Ministry and will serve patients in Central Singapore, where the local population is aging faster than the rest of the country.
When complete in 2030 it will serve 30,000 patients, visitors, staff, students and residents a day, double the current 15,000. Existing low-rise old buildings will be replaced with space-efficient multi-storey blocks to increase the floor space from 250,000 to 600,000m2, the number of beds will be increased by 25% to 2,200 and ten buildings will be physically connected, including Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Broadway Malyan’s Singapore-based team is delivering the detailed master plan, architectural and landscape design services, in collaboration with Surbana International Consultants.
Broadway Malyan’s community-focused design philosophy will deliver a highly-sustainable complex with a large, central open space featuring a new plaza, aimed at putting the community at the heart of the inter-connected buildings.
Practice Director, Ian Simpson, said: “The public launch is a major milestone in the delivery of this exciting project and our team of world-class master planning and design experts is working in close partnership with the client’s team to deliver a scheme which transforms the experience of patients and the range of healthcare services in Central Singapore.”
