Healy Butler Moffat Architects is an RIAI-registered practice in Cork City with more than 20 years’ experience, including healthcare projects delivered within operating hospitals, community care settings and existing building fabric across Cork and Munster. Healy Butler Moffat Architects provides Healthcare Architecture Cork services for public and private healthcare clients. Healthcare work is rarely a matter of arranging rooms on a clean plan. A ward may need to remain operational whilst adjoining areas are stripped out. Infection control measures affect circulation and construction phasing. Medical equipment schedules can determine room dimensions, services and access requirements before the wider layout is settled. On refurbishment projects, the existing structure often has the final word. The practice’s verified work includes Clonakilty Community Hospital, the 16-bed block at University Hospital Limerick and the National Ambulance Service Regional HQ in Limerick. Its RIAI practice reference is 05028. On a healthcare project, HBM delivers feasibility studies, departmental layouts, medical equipment planning and coordinated project delivery through to handover. User group consultation is built into that process. Department of Health Activity Database requirements are incorporated using ADB information and dRofus, allowing room data, equipment requirements and the BIM model to be coordinated rather than maintained as separate records. This is the practical distinction between general architecture firms in Cork and a practice accustomed to healthcare constraints. A clinical layout has to account for staff movement, clean and dirty routes, equipment access, servicing, fire strategy and the realities of carrying out work beside an active department. Where protected structures are involved, the conservation requirements must also be resolved without losing sight of how the building needs to function. Further information on the practice’s healthcare work is available online. Background on Healy Butler Moffat Architects and its wider work across education, commercial, hospitality, residential, conservation, interior design and BIM is also available.
