Thelle Mogoerane Hospital – Doctors & Nurses Accommodation, Creche & Training Centre

The client required safe and secure access from the accommodation site to the new Thelle Mogoerane Hospital. Hospital staff working late-night shifts require safe access to both sites. Access to the bridge which spans Nguza Street is by way of biometric access control. The bridge and ramps are wheelchair friendly. This necessitated longer ramps at acceptable falls as well as shorter horizontal rest areas on both sides of the bridge. The design was to be aesthetically pleasing. The hospital site had not made provision for any bridge or ramps and this posed problems for the designers to get the ramped structure accommodated on the hospital property. The end result is, however, a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution to the many physical problems on both sites.
