Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary

Work and Ideas›

Scotland, UK

While a focus on patient care continues to be of the utmost importance, staff experience and well-being are crucial to the success of a healthcare system. Referred to as the ‘Garden Hospital’ for its pastoral setting and 17 courtyards, the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary’s design centers on its staff as well as its patients to provide an uplifting, therapeutic and person-centered environment.

In order to achieve the Board’s vision to deliver high quality care, and to provide an uplifting workplace to help attract and retain staff, NBBJ collaborated extensively with clinicians, patients, planners and local community and wider local NHS representatives. Taking inspiration from its rural setting with natural materials, and optimizing views and natural daylight, the resulting design supports all occupants and users of the hospital.
