The new Curraheen hospital in Cork, part funded by the Health Service Executive (HSE), charitable donations and the hospitals fundraising efforts replaces an existing hospital, also incorporating the Marymount Hospice. The 15,000m² hospital has been designed to maximise natural light, featuring four separate radiating wings. To maximise available space the roof doubles as a garden area, whilst the building has been designed to the latest renewable energy guidelines, heated by a combined heat and power unit (which also generates electricity) and a biomass (wood chip) boiler. Solar panels fitted to the atrium roof skylights also supplement hot water requirements.
