The new seven-storey wing has three levels of basement carparking and a radiotherapy bunker, providing an additional 110 beds. The facility provides treatment cancer, cardiac, emergency, geriatric care, infectious diseases and maternity services.

The design uses salutogenic principles to create spaces that soothe the spirit and promote positive healing and wellness, rather than simply treating disease. Patients are more closely connected with nature through full height operable windows and natural light, while also experiencing new levels of comfort and control through state-of-the-art technology, which relieves patient burdens and increases safety.

Outside, the natural slatted terracotta façade complements the adjacent 60s brickwork of the original hospital, uniting the site into a harmonious and identifiable health campus. The façade folds to create a gentle quality of light inside and ensure patients’ views from beds are unobstructed while providing screening.
