Shankill Wellbeing and Treatment Centre, Belfast

Shankill Road Health and Wellbeing Centre was one of three new centres designed for the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. The others are Lincoln Avenue and Andersonstown Road, each will serve a population of 70,000. Each Centre will aim to offer a one-stop approach to service delivery by providing a focal point for care within community based centres. The 4,800 m2 scheme will sit between the existing club and church and will have prominent frontage onto Shankill Road.

The accommodation will be along an internal street, with an atrium at the heart of the building. The accommodation is organised within 2 linear blocks parallel to the main arterial route of the Shankill Road. The blocks are connected by a glazed internal street which creates two internal courtyards hidden from the street. The project started on site late 2008 and opened to the public in 2011.
