Project details
Grange University Hospital (previously known as the Specialist and Critical Care Centre) is the centrepiece of a new model of healthcare delivery serving over 600,000 people, dealing with all major emergencies as well as treating patients needing complex emergency or critical care. It has 471 beds and is home to more than 40 specialist services.
The hospital is designed to be flexible, adaptable and expandable. The use of universal rooms allows operational flexibility and blurring of departmental boundaries to deal with changing demand.
Taking advantage of the beautiful rural setting, the hospital offers views across the surrounding countryside and access to therapeutic spaces to promote healing and wellness.
The building process maximised the use of digital technology through the supply chain. Off-site manufactured components were installed on site to enable programme efficiencies, offer improved health and safety and maximised quality control.
The project has received five awards to date: Constructing Excellence Wales 'Project of the Year 2021', Constructing Excellence Wales 'Digital Construction Award 2020' and 'Off-Site Award 2020', Constructing Excellence (National) Highly Commended 'Offsite Project of the Year 2020' and Royal Town Planning Awards - National Award for Planning Excellence in Healthcare and Wellbeing.
It will help us to create a much improved care environment, timely access to emergency care and ensure patients get the best outcomes from their care.
