The Orchard Centre enables residents to go for a coffee while they wait for their prescription, pay their council bills and surf the internet, or even take their baby for a massage before they go to the dentist.
The huge structure, with escalators and a glass atrium, took 19 months to build and includes two doctors' surgeries, dental services, physiotherapy and speech therapy clinics, toddler groups, stop-smoking sessions, and family planning and midwifery clinics.
The building has a cafe and community centre, and Hull City Council's customer service centre, where people can access everything from housing to disability services.
