Building 29: Redburn

The Redburn building is labelled “Female Sick Quarters” on the historic ground plans and functioned as a hospital within the hospital. It is an early hospital building, built in 1935, with minor modifications around 1955. The building is somewhat secluded, set behind the later McCoull clinic and screened by mature trees; it is terraced into the south-east facing slope of the site and therefore sits low in the landscape. The two-storey building is composed of a central rectangular block with hipped roofs; the central block has small projecting wings extending from its north-west side and a middle wing extending perpendicular to the central block and connected to it by a stretch of corridor. This middle wing has a first floor addition at its north-western extent, housing above-ceiling machinery associated with the operating theatre below. Walls are of reconstituted stone; ground-floor windows were shuttered with light-permeable metal sheeting at the time of building recording; the first floor has exposed sash windows.

The Middle Wing held the operating room and a series of small ancillary rooms: sterilisation, sluice and bin rooms, with concrete flooring and painted walls with stone or concrete tiling at the wall and floor junctions. The operating theatre is off-set as a separate wing accessible externally and from the rest of the building by a single linking corridor. The central block is symmetrical in plan and use, with a mixture of larger multiple-occupancy ward rooms and single-occupancy bedrooms; staff quarters were originally on the first floor. Only very minor changes in use and ground plan have been made to the building.
