Praise by Milliband

Foreign Secretary David Miliband has praised a flagship health centre designed by Sheffield architect Race Cottam Associates.

The purpose-designed, eco-friendly 6.5 million Flagg Court Primary Care is based in Mr Miliband’s South Shields constituency.

Mark Barker, regional director in Race Cottam’s Sheffield studios, said: “We adopted environmental best practice guidelines in the choice of materials and I think have delivered a building which reinforces our green credentials.

“I hope our design will provide a blueprint for future primary care buildings in the region.”
