Murieston, West Lothian

Sector

Health

Murieston Medical Practice’s new health centre replaces temporary premises with a purpose-built facility designed to support modern healthcare delivery. Combining state-of-the-art medical services with a Lloyds Pharmacy under one roof, the building balances functionality with a contemporary aesthetic, providing a welcoming and efficient environment for patients, staff and the wider community.

The Challenge

Murieston Medical Practice required a permanent home to replace temporary facilities that no longer met modern healthcare needs. The brief called for a purpose-built health centre that could accommodate both the practice and a new Lloyds Pharmacy, delivering high-quality, future-ready services for the local community.

Our Approach

As lead consultant, Aitken Turnbull designed a contemporary building that respects its setting while providing state-of-the-art facilities. Brickwork at ground level reflects neighbouring properties, while gold aluminium cladding above creates a striking identity. The design clearly separates the functions of the pharmacy and medical practice while uniting them under one roof.

The Conclusion

The new Murieston Health Centre provides a modern, efficient and welcoming environment for staff, patients and visitors. By integrating the pharmacy with the medical practice, the building enhances accessibility and patient care, ensuring the community benefits from comprehensive, convenient healthcare services within a purpose-built, contemporary facility.
