St. Andrews College Sanatorium
(For Thembela Architects)
Grahamstown, South Africa
An existing building dating back to the early 19th Century, – the internal re-plan and external facade upgrade needed to handle the sensitive heritage aspect, as well as accommodate the changing clinical requirements initiated by the recent COVID pandemic. Large multi-bed wards were re-configured into smaller more flexible spaces to allow for varied isolation type patient accommodation. Each ward cluster now has its own en suite bathroom facility. Outdated finishes were replaced with new surfaces, fittings and junctions that would be easier to maintain. At the same time a more stimulating interior colour pallette was implemented to make sure the boys feel as relaxed as possible to help facilitate their recovery.
