Possilpark Health Centre

Possilpark Health Centre is a new way of providing community health and social services, allowing patients access to lots of different facilities in a single visit.

Increased accessibility and inclusion is at the very heart, with the design of the building based entirely on the understanding of patient use. The catalyst for wider regeneration in the area, the Possilpark Heath and Care Centre creates a truly therapeutic environment that is responsive to the needs of patients, staff and visitors by creating a calm and uplifting building.

An inner city area suffering the impact of the decline in local industry, the new health centre was a kick-starter for wider regeneration. The existing health centre, often described by locals as being ‘reminiscent of a fortress’, was no longer fit for purpose and couldn’t keep up with changing requirements.

The aim was to provide an all inclusive health centre delivering a range of services, that would improve access to health related services and help improve the health outcomes in the area. We worked with the community to ensure the new building was a true reflection of community aspirations and would have the desired long-term benefits for the area.
