The Acute Services Block is the latest in the development of the complex and constrained site at Ulster Hospital. The architectural team of Avanti with KFA have been involved here since early master-planning work commenced in the mid-noughties. The long-overdue and critical upgrading of the facilities of the acute hospital is an ongoing project that needs to to address ever-evolving modes of healthcare practice and statutory changes. In providing individual rooms for critical care, and a new emergency suite, the newly completed block provides a nationally significant reference for the provision of healthcare environments.
