Project Description:

The Sheffield Children’s Hospital project delivered a new-build, four-storey, reinforced concrete frame hospital wing with under ground car parking, as well as the refurbishment of the adjacent existing wing and the rebuild of a Victorian villa. The new-build incorporates x-ray suites, an MRI scanner room, a reception and outpatients department and state-of-the-art hospital wards and consultation rooms. To accommodate the needs of the growing community in and around Sheffield, the project is set to undergo extensions around every 10 years.
