Public: hub West Scotland courtyards, allowing a high level of natural daylight and venti- lation throughout the building. Designed from the outset to accommodate future flexibility and an innovative layout, it is hoped the building will become a valued asset within the wider community, and make a positive contribution to the health and wellbeing of the local service users and staff. Indeed, by offering real opportunities to work more closely with GPs and provide space for Third Sector and community groups to offer support and information to local people, the completed project meets key hub West Scotland objectives. Moreover, its foresight will aid the future delivery of integrated health and care services. Designed to provide clear orientation, wayfinding and ease of movement throughout for both members of the pub- lic and staff, the total cost of the building was £14.9m with £9.2m provided by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and £5.7m provided by East Renfrewshire Council.
