<strong>The</strong> new Radiotherapy Centre <strong>and</strong> Accident & Emergency Department<br />
at Princess Margaret Hospital is a redevelopment building located at<br />
the site of the old A&E Department (Block H) adjacent to existing Main<br />
Blocks, allowing swift admission of patients from A&E Department to<br />
the acute wards or to other blocks for further treatment. Site Area is<br />
about 3,200 sq.m <strong>and</strong> total Gross Floor Area is 19,931 sq.m.<br />
Equipped with the most advanced medical facilities, the 12-storey new<br />
Radiotherapy Centre houses a comprehensive range of clinical areas<br />
for services in radiotherapy, diagnostic radiology, clinical oncology <strong>and</strong><br />
accident & emergency treatment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> site lies approximately 50m above the MTR tunnels <strong>and</strong> the major<br />
technical challenge is reduction of building weight. Lightweight<br />
building materials are extensively used in this building. Externally,<br />
the façade is composed of unitised curtain wall, aluminium cladding,<br />
aluminium louvers <strong>and</strong> metal roofing which give this building an<br />
articulated modern look rarely seen in hospital buildings. Internally,<br />
a solid lightweight concrete infill wall system replaces traditional<br />
blockwall for general partitioning. To minimise the weight <strong>and</strong><br />
space occupied by Linear Accelerator rooms, innovative construction<br />
techniques were explored <strong>and</strong> the final composite wall design makes<br />
use of steel plates s<strong>and</strong>wiched by concrete walls to substantially<br />
reduce the wall thickness but still provide sufficient shielding against<br />
radiation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Radiotherapy Centre with its glazed curtain wall <strong>and</strong> skylight<br />
envelope maximises the use of day-lighting to achieve energy efficiency<br />
<strong>and</strong> enhance the ambience of internal space, especially at the double<br />
volume foyers in building entrance <strong>and</strong> outside lecture theatre. Use of<br />
sun-shielding devices <strong>and</strong> low-e double glazing system reduce solar<br />
heat gain through external walls. <strong>The</strong> l<strong>and</strong>scape gardens on the roof<br />
<strong>and</strong> podium can also minimise heat gain on the roof level <strong>and</strong> helps<br />
to beautify the environment. Photo-voltaic panels integrated with the<br />
roof canopies supply electricity up to 19 KW to the building as well as<br />
provide sun-shading to upper levels of the building.<br />
