Atheldene Health Centre, Wandsworth

The Garratt Collection is a major redevelopment of former brownfield site being delivered for our sister company Higgins Homes in collaboration with the London Borough of Wandsworth, designed by Pollard Thomas Edwards. The mixed-use development provides 193 homes and two commercial units and to support this we are construction a new GP-led community health centre, the Atheldene Health Centre, and pharmacy.

The Atheldene Health Centre underscores our expertise in constructing complex public buildings. The new centre replaces an outdated facility, the Brocklebank Health Centre, with the aim of expanding healthcare services to meet the growing needs of Wandsworth’s diverse population. The project involves the construction of a three-storey building with a range of healthcare facilities, including GP consulting rooms, treatment areas, a pharmacy, and spaces for community health services.

The fit-out of the Health Centre is being delivered directly for the NHS to meet NHS Property Primary Care and Community Health Premises Standard Specification and Design Requirement. We are working alongside specialist consultants to facilitate this.

To minimise longer-term running costs the Healthcare Centre and Commercial Units are BREEAM Excellent. This is being supported by Sustainability and Energy consultant NRG required us to integrate advanced sustainability features into the design and construction of the health centre.

The existing Brocklebank Health Centre and local pharmacy are continuing to operate while the new Atheldene Health Centre and pharmacy are under construction guaranteeing uninterrupted service to residents during the construction period. We have constructed a temporary pharmacy building to facilitate this.
