The patient experience is at the heart of the Centre. Its design resolves the need for a highly collaborative integrated working environment in a large complex building, with the contrasting need for tranquil deinstitutionalised space for patients in times of stress.

Its healing character is established through intrinsically therapeutic gardens that benefit patients, loved ones, and the wider community; a source of way finding as well as a place of solace and relief from the arduous treatment journey.

Throughout the centre, there is a focus on natural light and contact with the outdoors. Radiation bunkers, traditionally located underground, are on the ground floor where patients enter via a light- filled atrium. Courtyards interact with public areas, where floor-to-ceiling windows illuminate spaces with natural light year-round.

Innovative floorplans enable bedroom wings to reach out into the landscape; window bays with distant views provide patients and their families with places of respite and contemplation.
