About Built Environment

The aim of the built environment program is to democratize access to design of livable habitats to address poverty and climate challenges in a climate-stressed world by integrating energy optimization through an ecosystem approach. Underserved communities are usually at the receiving end of the worst impacts of climate change coupled with improper ventilation, natural lighting and thermal conditions; the cost of building resilience and comfort is generally high. The overall energy performance of built environments is influenced by people, units and climate. Hence, innovations need to integrate energy optimization in the application of technologies and the environment of built spaces.

 Project Summary

SELCO Foundation is looking for experienced architects and consultancy firms specializing in healthcare to redesign certain sections of the CCHRC facility, with an aim of creating sustainable, energy efficient built environments. The goal is to conceptualize and design a model health and livelihoods centre incorporating functionality and sustainability.

Objectives

To design a state-of-the-art health and livelihood centre, the facility should be energy-efficient, universally accessible, and space-optimized, providing a thermally comfortable environment for staff, patients, and other users. The design should benefit the well-being of all users by employing both passive and active strategies for energy efficiency, aligning with sustainable building practices, and creating a supportive and healing environment. This involves conceptualizing the centre by researching best practices and global standards.

1. Create an innovative and functional architectural concept for a health and livelihood centre.
2. Develop comprehensive design guidelines to ensure the smooth functioning of the health centre which promotes accessibility, patient flow, and a healing environment leading to improved recovery and wellbeing among end users – Including staff, patients and the community
3. Develop designs for a livelihood Centre to be incorporated into the health facility
4. Develop detailed architectural drawings and specifications incorporating sustainable and energy efficient design principles to reduce energy consumption
5. Ensure compliance with local and international health standards and regulations.
6. Conduct consultations with healthcare professionals, community members, and other stakeholders to incorporate their inputs and needs into the design.
7. Implement the latest healthcare technologies and innovations into the design.
8. Ensure the design supports the integration of telemedicine and other digital health solutions.
9. Incorporate sustainable building materials and practices to minimize the environmental impact
10. Design for energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste management.

By achieving these objectives, the project will result in a well-designed, functional, and sustainable health & livelihoods centre that meets the needs of the community and adheres to the highest standards of healthcare design which can be benchmarked as a global standard.
