DENTAL CENTRE
STRATFORD E20
An NHS flagship Health Centre is being
assembled in the Olympic Park at
Stratford, E20 and the NHS hopes this will
form the basis of a new era in the provision
of health services.
Built as part of the Olympic Village on
redundant railway land to serve the needs
of the Competitors and Officials, the Sir
Ludwig Guttman Centre is one of the two
largest non-hospital NHS Buildings in the
country and is rapidly developing into a
flagship centre for serving the health and
wellbeing needs of this new and growing
community.

3. The centre encompasses out-sourced GP services as well as a range
of other NHS Services to serve the local area helping to reduce hospital
visits and allow GP.s Consultants and other clinicians from secondary
and community care services to work together more closely.
Seeing an opportunity to expand the world renowned facilities for
dental education and training based in the new Dental School and
Hospital in Whitechapel, a Partnership between Queen Mary University
of London and Barts NHS Trust has produced a state of the art facility
for training and dental care for the people of East London.
Anxious to provide this facility to fit in with the academic year planning
of the University, a professional team was assembled by the Queen
Mary Capital Projects Department working closely with Barts NHS Trust
Dental Department and the senior Academic staff at Queen Mary
University, a proposal was quickly developed and approved by the
Management team.

4. Architecture, Mechanical &
Electrical
Optimizing the space to provide a functional clinic to support the
business case requirement of twenty five dental chairs, four of
which are sedation bays, into a space that previously housed
only ten surgeries proved to be a planning challenge but with the
help of the Architect, Hal Jones of Ansell and Bailey, working
closely with the academic and dental staff a workable layout
was quickly established.
The Engineering challenges in servicing twenty five chairs are
not common; these were taken head on by the Mechanical and
Electrical Engineers at The Richard Stevens Partnership.

5. Project Management.
Managing a project in a working health centre was achieved by a
close collaboration with experienced health sector Principal
Contractor, Logan Construction who maintained a strong
management team on site throughout the project to deal with the
logistical and holistic requirements of the project.
The Project Manager for Queen Mary, Sean Donnelly of Cosford
Associates, gave praise to all the team, “to produce a clinic with
the challenges this project presented in the time available has
been a credit to all companies and individuals involved, I’m very
proud to have been associated with such a committed team”.

6. QS & CDMc.
Asked what the most decisive decisions were made in the project,
Geoff Cooch of Cooch and Associates the QS and CDMc said, “clear
decisions from the Dental Team at Barts and QM helped to give
confidence to the Design Team. Deadlines were set for decisions critical
to the delivery of the project. Analysis of the long lead-in items and
detailed programming enabled the PM to make brave high value pre
purchases of the major capital items which were mission critical. At the
end of the project, all the dental kit, x-ray equipment and IT
installation all arrived on time and the timely delivery of these made
the final stages, where inevitable logistical challenges occur, more
bearable and less stressful as a result of this forward thinking”.

8. End User.
Now that the centre is up and running, the Matron in charge, Jodie
Carter has said that the provision of the working facility on time
and having the help of the project team at hand has helped her and
her team to transition into full operation without having the
distraction of ironing out teething problems with the installation.
The help and guidance form the Project Manager, Sean Donnelly,
has been key to this smooth transition.

9. Client & Key Stakeholder.
Professor Mike Curtis, Dean of Dentistry at Queen Mary,
explained "It was a terrific achievement by all involved to develop
the initial idea to place a new dental outreach centre on the
Olympic Park into reality in such a short period of time. Our staff
and students and the local population will benefit enormously from
these first rate facilities for dental education and care. Particular
thanks are owed to the project team who led on the design and
construction of the new clinic - an exceptional team effort with
effective project management."
