East Village Health Centre

On the edge of the Athletes’ Village the health centre is situated on a triangular site bounded on two sides by railway cuttings. The monolithic building contains 3,800m² of NHS accommodation with an additional 1,500m² that will house a Community Development Trust post-Games.

All three facades are clad in brick with vertical slot windows, although the west has a large portion of glazed aluminium curtain wall. The street facade has a dramatic elevation with a double-storey classical arcade that contains glazed shopfronts with gold, silver and bronze painted units above.

Internally a four-storey atrium is surrounded by a continuous ribbon of double-loaded accommodation on each floor that contain flexible standardized rooms. The expression is spare and simple: balustrades and balconies are expressed in timber and a lime-green rubber floor is used for all clinical areas.
