University Health Centre

University Health Centre

The brief was to design an improved Modern University health centre that would cater for the medical needs of the growing population of the University (FUTA)  due to a shortage of required facilities, equipment, and staffing.

Overview:

The conceptual design adopts a pragmatic, whole-of-life approach inspired by the form and function of a syringe, a fundamental tool in clinics and healthcare facilities. Its simple reciprocating mechanism, composed of a plunger and barrel, informs a design that emphasizes efficiency, movement, and purposeful spatial organization.
