The University of Edinburgh wishes to appoint a main contractor to construct a new Health and Wellbeing Centre at 7 Bristo Square. Existing teaching space accommodation is to be reconfigured and repurposed to create the new centre. 7 Bristo Square is a mid-century modernist building whose character contributes to the locale. The works entail both a refurbishment, new services and a new extension to the existing building in a constrained urban site which is located within a live University environment. There is a GP practice located on the upper floors of the building which is to remain operational throughout the works. Access to the GP practice is to be maintained at all times. The new Health and Wellbeing Centre will be formed over Level 0, Level 1 and Level 2, comprising a new single storey extension to the front of the building providing shared access to the new Wellbeing Centre and the existing Health Centre that currently occupies Levels 3 – 5. Internally at Level 0 the new facility will provide a new larger Pharmacy; refurbished WC facilities; plant rooms; new consultation rooms; and access to a new lift providing vertical transportation between Level 0 – Level 2. Level 1 accommodation will provide a new reception; staff administration and welfare facilities; consultation rooms; and a new wellbeing lounge and sanctuary area. Level 2 will provide further consultation rooms.
