OUR CENTRES
Come inside...
At Maggies we create places that help us in our mission to
support people with, through and beyond cancer.
Our centres play an essential role: put simply, Maggies
Centres aim to bring joy and instil hope, helping people not
to lose the joy of living in the fear of dying. Each one is
distinctive and different, and yet each offers the same
informal, comfortable surroundings that make it easy for
those dealing with the trauma of cancer to engage with our
professional help and connect with others going through a
similar experience. Every Maggies Centre aims to be a place
where people feel valued, safe and able to take their time as
they deal with the isolation and despair of a cancer diagnosis.
The whole building feels
informal, family like - it
somehow brings people together.

OUR CENTRES
David Page, Page \ Park: The problem
was to create a series of closed rooms
while retaining an overall sense of
openness. Our response emerged as a
spiral of rooms winding their way up
and around the tower. Then the spaces
break through at the back, out
towards the landscape and the park.
Maggies Glasgow is a converted
gatehouse at the edge of the Western
Infirmary. Visitors describe the centre
as like a warm, open plan home,
with its entrance opening immediately
onto the kitchen and the various sized
rooms helping each person to find
a space where they feel comfortable.
These key elements of the design
encourage people to take their time,
and stay as long as they need, as they
deal with the issues they are facing.
Charles Jencks, our co-founder,
created the intimate garden at the
back of the centre.

MAGGIES DUNDEE OPENED 2003
Frank Gehry, Frank Gehry Partners:
Theres a Yiddish expression,Heymish.
It means homelike, comfortable. Thats
what we were trying to do there.
Sitting in front of Ninewells Hospital,
Maggies Dundee is Frank Gehrys only
permanent building in the UK. As a
friend of Maggie and Charles Jenckshe was very concerned to be true to
our founders ideas, and after
completing many sketches and models,
none of which felt right, he talks of a
dream: Maggie came to me and said
to calm it down. So I came into the
office the next morning, swept up all
the stuff and put it in the archive.
His realised design provides an
intimate, house-like centre, true to
Maggies ideals, but with distinctive
touches that inspire and uplift our
visitors, such as the observation tower
with views across the estuary and the
stunning ribbed wood ceiling.

MAGGIES HIGHLANDS OPENED 2005
Charles Jencks, landscape architect:
[David Page and I] came to a design
that was a bit of a garden and a bit of
building. Id been reading about the
secret language of cells and suggested
that we make the building itself a
dividing cell, conceived as the inversion
of one of the mounds.
Building and landscape design are totally
integrated in Maggies Highlands which
was created by David Page of Page \
Park in collaboration with Charles Jencks
who acted as its landscape architect.
Sitting at the edge of Raigmore Hospital,
it is a strikingly sculptural centre, full of
light and curving spaces which David
Page describes as aiming to create a
sense of embrace. The free-flowing
interior, reflects our belief that every part
of every centre should be accessible and
open, in contrast to many institutional
settings, and many visitors comment on
the sense of calm the building evokes.

Zaha Hadid, Zaha Hadid Architects:
The building responds to a certain
need after visiting the hospital and
the processes of chemotherapy... it
provides a place between all that and
going home. Its a kind of buffer in that
sense, the idea that you re-enter the
world through a small, domestic-scaled
environment.
Maggies Fife at Victoria Hospital is
Zaha Hadids first permanent building in
the UK. The exterior is dark and angular,
appearing almost as if the ground has
folded itself up into a protective envelope
for the centre within, which in contrast,
is bright and light with expansive views
of trees and greenery. The centre offers,
as Hadid puts it, a completely different
world to the hospital environment,
and this is a key aspect of our approach
which aims to provide uplifting
environments that can help people to
develop new perspectives on their cancer.

Richard Rogers, Rogers Stirk Harbour +
Partners: The idea was to minimise the
over-bearing impact of Charing Cross
Hospital. The roof, the landscaping, the
hearth inside, the views out, each of
these was to take you away from the
hospital and the bustle of the road.
At Maggies London it was particularlyimportant to create a place of peace and
calm in a busy urban location. Richard
Rogers designed the centre to look
inwards, without excluding the outside
world, and his design includes a number
of internal courtyards and tucked away
spaces for people to retreat to, while
having an overall sense of openness
and light. The striking exterior walls
encourage people in, and the layout
inside inspires visitors to explore which
reflects our ethos of supporting people
to discover and explore the resources
within themselves that can help them
to manage the impact of their cancer.

MAGGIES CHELTENHAM OPENED 2010
Sir Richard MacCormac, MJP Architects:
Its not really a building; its a large
piece of inhabited furniture with a roof
hovering above it. Furniture is more
immediate than buildings are: we use it,
touch it, engage with it. Through the
joinery we convey care, so that when
people come in they feel they have
come to a place about care.
Maggies Cheltenham is our newest
centre. A conversion of a Victorian Grade
II Listed Lodge coupled with a new single
storey extension, its located in the
grounds of Cheltenham General Hospital.
Sir Richard describes his design as aiming
to be responsive to different frames of
mind or moods and includes special
refuges that can facilitate a key aspect
of Maggies approach the provision of
professional emotional and psychological
support in surroundings where people
feel relaxed, valued and safe as they
work through challenging emotions.

EXPANDING
OUR NETWORK
The need for our support continues
to grow so we are working to expand
our network of centres across the
UK and beyond. Where we currently
offer the Maggies programme of
support in an interim centre, in
Lanarkshire, Oxford and SouthWestWales, new purpose-built centres
have been designed and are in
various stages of development.
We are also establishing new centres
at a number of locations across the
UK where we have been invited to
build a Maggies Centre by the local
NHS team. Maggies Nottingham
and Maggies Glasgow (Gartnavel)
will open at the end of 2011 and a
new centre for the North East is
being developed.
We aim to have a further ten
centres in development by 2014.

NHS Trust: Lanarkshire
Location: Monklands General Hospital
Cancer network: West Scotland
Population served: 560,000
Neil Gillespie: A Maggies brief is challenging for many
reasons, it is a unique building type. A Maggies is all about
a different kind of care, a care that is dispensed from a
domestic scaled building yet it is not a house nor is it a
hospital. Virtually all Maggies plans evolve from t he kitchen
table; around having somewhere to go to the moment you
enter the building. Our plan too develops from the kitchen
table outwards to the courtyards, the trees and beyond.
Currently Maggies Lanarkshire is based at Wishaw Hospital
but its new home will be at Monklands General Hospital.

Population served: 1,000,000
Chris Wilkinson: Our concept is based around a treehouse,
supported on piloti with its elevations fa ceted to maximise
the relationship between inside and outside space.
The centre nestles into woods at the edge of the hospital
grounds and will have a three-pronged form where each
wing will make its way into the trees, culminating in a little
terrace to provide direct access to fresh air and nature.
As with all our centres it will provide a range of both open
and private spaces.

Kisho Kurokawa, one of the greatest Japanese architects of
the 20th Century, was also a friend of our founder Maggie
Keswick Jencks. His stunning circular design, inspired by
the cosmos and connections between East and West, was
created before he died. He described the spiralling arms
of the centre acting as devices to welcome the visitor and
lead [them] to the other side, which embraces nature, the
trees, rocks and water. A glass roof at the centre of the
building further enhances the sense of cosmic connection
by providing unimpeded views of the sky.

Population served: 1,300,000
Piers Gough: I hope that people will find it charming,
something like a surprising home.... From t he outside the
playful appearance will entice people to take a look through
the door; once they do the harmony of light and space will
create a uniquely welcoming environment.This centre will
have a very distinctive exterior made up of interlocking
ovals that form a square building and inside this idea of
symmetry will continue in the arrangement of the rooms,
creating a calming, relaxing place for our visitors. Sir Paul
Smith will be designing and furnishing the interior.

Rem Koolhaas: We accepted the commission with eagerness.
The space we have is linked to the existing hospital, but far
enough away from it for us to create another world. It has
both privacy and a central position; both sheltered and
slightly exposed.The centre design is a single-level
building arranged in a ring of interlocking rooms that
surround an internal, landscaped courtyard. It is scheduled
to open in autumn 2011 and will be conveniently located
close to the new Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre.

Ted Cullinan: Maggie's Centres aim at a wonderful balance of
the moral with the aesthetic. We are thrilled to be involved.
This centre will utilise sustainable, low-carbon materials and
technology, helping to minimise its environmental impact.
In keeping with Maggies ethos, this centre will encompass
a range of spaces, both internal and external, that together
provide a stimulating and comforting place for our visitors.
The L-shaped design will enclose a courtyard garden,
creating a protected, sheltered place while the landscaped
roof will provide a contrasting elevated, open area.

A purpose built centre, designed by Frank Gehry, is being
developed at Tuen Mun Hospital, where we currently have
an interim centre. Situated close to a grove of mature trees
and a grass lawn that will act as a borrowed garden, the
centre itself will form a bridge over a pond, with four
distinct gardens around its sides. Its arrangement will be like
a series of pavilions where the interior rooms fold into the
landscape or pop out with a private terrace over a pond.
