Irland – Dienstleistungen von Architekturbüros bei Gebäuden – Multi Disciplinary Design Team Services for the delivery of six (6) additional ICU bed spaces at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin.

Beaumont Hospital is the principal teaching hospital for the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and has an international reputation for excellence in patient care, medical education, innovation and research. In addition to providing a wide range of national and regional services, Beaumont Hospital delivers acute care to a population of over 500,000 people within its local catchment area and is host to Centres of Excellence in Neuroscience, Cancer and Renal Transplantation. The Board of Beaumont Hospital proposes to undertake a programme of works to provide additional Intensive Care Unit (ICU) bed capacity. The project will deliver six additional ICU bed spaces, together with the required ancillary accommodation, through the reconfiguration and refurbishment of existing hospital space. Collectively, these works will strengthen critical care resilience, enhance operational flexibility, and support the safe and sustainable delivery of acute services at Beaumont Hospital. Design Team Services shall be provided across all project stages for both the new six-bed ICU development and the DOSA and Staff facilities Relocation Works. It is proposed to reconfigure an existing area within the Beaumont Hospital campus, currently accommodating the DOSA and staff changing facilities, to deliver six additional ICU bed spaces with associated ancillary accommodation. The proposal utilises the existing floor plate and capitalises on the area’s close proximity to the current ICU, enabling a timely and cost-effective increase in critical care capacity while minimising disruption to ongoing hospital operations. To facilitate the delivery of the new ICU accommodation, an advance enabling works package will be required to be completed. This enabling package will provide alternative accommodation for the existing Day of Surgery Admission DOSA and staff changing facilities, which must be relocated to accommodate the new ICU unit. In the first instance, a feasibility study shall be undertaken as part of the Design Team Services to identify the most appropriate alternative accommodation within the hospital campus for the relocated DOSA offices and staff changing facilities. This study may include the development of up to three (3) alternative layout options for consideration and approval by the Client. The net floor area of the existing DOSA and Staff Changing Facilities is approximately. 340m2.
