GreatOrmondStreetHospitalNHSItalianBuilding

The Italian Building is a Grade II listed building, it was converted in the 1990s to form office accommodation, parent rooms and a nursery.

The new works consisted of converting the building to create a dedicated, self-contained sight and sound out-patients’ facility. This service is currently provided on the main GOSH site. A significant challenge was to achieve the integration of new engineering services, and it was proposed to use existing attic and basement spaces and locate plant and a new lift overrun where such things exist currently and are not visible from surrounding streets.

The works included: 

Internal and external alterations including two new lifts and roof level alterations including using attic space for plant and relocation of water tank room and erection of two plant enclosures. Infill extension to existing light well at basement level. Partial infill extension at ground floor roof level. Small infill extension on west side at first, second, third and roof levels. Creation of a landscaped courtyard/green roof at first floor level.
