Alder Hey Children's Hospital, UK
The Alder Hey in the Park Children’s Hospital involved the delivery of a c.660,000 sq ft children’s hospital integrated with a public park for a National Health Service trust. Construction was completed in September 2015 and the project has a 30-year term for facilities maintenance services. John Laing led the procurement and construction phases and the first year of operations through an active management services agreement.
660 k sq ft hospital
270 beds
330k patients per year
30yr term for facilities management
The facility is a state-of-the-art, 270-bed children’s hospital servicing 330,000 patients annually.
The old hospital was partly demolished to enable the expansion of the adjacent park, which was integrated into the design via a land swap arrangement with the park owner, the City of Liverpool.
Seventy-five percent of the new hospital rooms are en suite for single patients and each ward has an outdoor balcony overlooking the park.
