ACOUSTIC EXPERTISE FOR EALING'S NEW COMMUNITY DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE
Project name Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC), Ealing, North-West London Service Acoustic Input Client London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust

Project Overview

Work is complete on a new community diagnostic centre (CDC) in Ealing, North-West London.

The £30m project, co-located on the Ealing Hospital site, allows thousands of patients to quickly receive diagnostic tests including CT, MRI and ultrasound scans.

The centres are part of a national network funded by the Government to address the patient backlog that built up during the pandemic.

Temple’s Role

Working alongside architects Murphy Phillips, Temple provided acoustic input; advising on issues such as sound insulation between spaces, control of reverberation, and attenuation of noise from external building services plant.

CDCs are part of a national network funded by the Government to address the backlog of patients that built up during the pandemic. Ealing CDC focuses on four priority pathways, checking on symptoms including asthma, breathlessness, and back and chest pain.

The new facility occupies a previously underutilised space covering 2000 sqm.

“The earlier you detect a condition like cancer the better, so these diagnostic centres are an important addition to our healthcare services. They also help ease pressure on existing hospital services by allowing GPs to make direct referrals. This is a great investment on our hospital site and reflects our long-term commitment to Ealing.”Pippa Nightingale, CEO at London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust

 

“We love being involved in projects that help make people’s lives better and that create sustainable futures for the local community.  The repurposing of existing buildings such as this is generally more eco-friendly than building new from scratch so sits well with our passion for sustainability.”
