The new Centre for Oral Health (COH) is the most recent addition to the National University Health System medical precinct. It acts as the fulcrum of the existing campus, linking academic and medical spaces with necessary outreach and connections, including a landscaped green area, civic spaces and a network of bridges and covered walkways.
When fully operational, the multi-disciplinary facility will accommodate approximately 500 patients a day and offer clinical dental services, education and research facilities under one roof.
CONVERGENCE
The COH embodies a new building typology that obscures the lines between teaching, healing and practice, through a convergence of spaces and porosity between programmes. The treatment floors are designed with a combination of tutorial rooms, open concept areas for dental chairs aggregated into pods with low partition walls, private spaces and flexible waiting areas.
