This acute adolescent mental health ward was established in 2013 to care for young people who are experiencing a mental health crisis.
The large facility is set out over two floors and features patients lounges, dining room, activity rooms, meeting rooms, treatment rooms, bedrooms and long corridors.
Their artwork set was installed in all areas apart from patient bedrooms. The images help to unify all of the different spaces and lighten the dark ground floor rooms. The long corridors are broken up by artworks all along the way.

Alan Morkill house is a 50 room care home over looking Memorial Park. It is a large property spread out over four floors and each level has its own lounge and dining room for residents to use during the day.

The Violet Melchett Health and Wellbeing Hub opened a new site within the Earl's Court Health and Wellbeing Centre in late 2022 to work alongside an existing NHS GP and dental practice.
