title: MARU.
abstract: MARU is a research, postgraduate teaching, information and consultancy unit based in the School of Architecture and Interior Design at the University of North London. We are particularly concerned with the match between health care services and facilities. Our role is to keep abreast of changing philosophies in health service provision and develop ideas and strategies for creating the built environment to implement these changes. We undertake research and consultancy on commission with current specific areas of activity in developing databases of past research in the field, design guidance for primary care buildings for LIG and the Department of Health, strategic studies of services, organisation and space use at primary, secondary and tertiary levels of care.
