The Beatson Oncology Centre was designed by BMJ Architects. Working in collaboration with the Project Team Art Group, the artist championed art and environment design issues, with the West of Scotland as the specified theme.

Project Summary

Project : Beatson Oncology Centre Phase 11
Client : Greater Glasgow NHS Trust
Partners : Macmillan Care, Miller Construction
Location : Glasgow
Sector : Public
Duration : 2005 - 2008

Based on required research into current good practice around art, healthcare and the envionment, the artist's created a colour and materials palette to aid wayfinding of key patient journeys through the facility, linked to signage, and to specify wall, floor and furniture finishes.

The artist also identified opportunities to commission and purchase artworks. These include Indigo Lighting’s wall of lights at the main entrance, laminated print installations by Emma Varley and Clare Melinsky in the Linac Mazes, Jilli Blackwood’s textile in the Sanctuary and Mike Bolam’s photographs in the waiting areas.
