New Central Outpatient Department
Victoria Hospital *
Victoria Hospital is one of the major hospitals of the island. Housed in ancient military barracks scattered all over a huge campus and linked with an intricate network of covered corridors, the hospital is since old obsolete. Several attempts of having a master plan have been made but to no avail. The last attempt to at least implement part of the master plan was to launch a design competition for a Central Outpatient Department whose objective was to group administration and all outpatient departments scattered all over the place under one building and liberate the old barracks for subsequent implementation on the master plan designed in collaboration with international hospital consultants FGG Architects.
Department of Neuro Surgery & Spinal Injury
Victoria Hospital *The works for the Central Outpatient department had already started when the Ministry requested us to modify the plans and add two storeys to cater for the Neuro-Surgical Unit comprised of the technical operating block with ancillary facilities: ICU and HDU wards and 50 bed in-patient facilities. These works constitute the second phase of the hospital project.

Souillac District Hospital *
Inpatient & Outpatient Departments
The old wooden structure of the district hospital could no longer offer decent health services to the inhabitants of the South. It was decided to build a new district hospital with upgraded facilities while keeping the existing hospital in service during the construction. The hospital houses in a partial basement level all the support services including a fully equipped kitchen, pharmacy stores, mortuary and laundry. The ground floor level comprises the outpatient department, the accident and emergency, the pharmacy and the laboratory. In-patient wards are distributed on the two wings of the first and second floors. The operating block with separate gynae and obstetrics facilities lies in the heart of the hospital on the first floor with the administration department just above the second floor. The top most floor comprises day and night facilities for the staff. A definite regional character has been given to the architecture of the building.
