The new medical facilities will be a welcome addition to the growing community. New and already existing businesses will also be attracted to the development which will mean a jobs boost for the area.Councillor John Merry,
Leader of Salford council
Newbury Place Health Centre Salford provides a new state-of-the-art Primary Care facility offering a wide range of health services for the Higher Broughton Community, an area which has one of the largest long-standing Orthodox Jewish Communities within the UK.
The new health centre brings together four local GP practices whose existing premises are inadequate and lacking in scope to expand to meet the growing local health and social care needs.
The new purpose designed health centre has been conceived to be culturally sensitive to meet the particular needs of the local community while also providing services that are widely accessible to all of the Higher Broughton community.
The new health centre also provides pharmacy, optician, community services and a retail food outlet.
By choosing a modern palette of materials and promoting a contemporary design, the practice has met Urban Vision’s development brief for this important high profile site on Bury New Road.

Key challenges and engineering solutions
Designed specifically with the predominately orthodox Jewish communities needs in mind the building had a unique layout.
The building was positioned on a formally sloping site that had been levelled following bombing during WW2.
The backfilling had been haphazard leaving large masonry panels and voids. The construction involved difficult piling solutions through obstructions to create a fully suspended substructure.
