The Lowther Unit, St. Andrew’s Hospital, Northampton

This major project was built in the grounds of
St. Andrew’s Hospital, Northampton and provides
accommodation for 60 adolescents and young
people with a variety of mental health problems.
 
It consists of 12 bed home units, each with their
own sleeping, and recreational and living facilities. 

The patients attend a school or educational facility
within the complex and take lunch in a refectory. 

The units themselves form a secure perimeter to a
large internal courtyard and recreational space.
A secure external sports area is also provided. 
The configuration of the building has largely
obviated the need for high and unsightly security
fencingwhich has contributed to the therapeutic
environment which has been created through
sensitive interior and exterior design. 

One of the units provides forensic accommodation.
