The modern building is arranged over four stories around a central courtyard and is estimated to serve 13,500 patients every year. It is designed to take advantage of its prominent site on Ashgate Road responding in scale to the adjacent town centre conservation area. It has been constructed to BREEAM Excellent standard and uses traditional building materials to ground it in its setting, which was the site of the former Manor College.

The main form of the building is clad in brick and stone to lower levels softening the building to the local vernacular. A glazed entry and upper walkways punctuate the façade and with the courtyard create a light filled building. Almost translucent aluminium cladding to the upper floor contrasts the lower floors and reduces the buildings impact on the skyline.
