Features of the five-storey building include an urgent care centre, inpatients, eight theatres, day surgery, outpatient ambulatory care zone, imaging, diagnostics and supporting facilities.

Future-proof solutions for the development by IBI Group include releasing funds from land sale and integrating housing and a new school into the plans to support the local community's infrastructure.

In addition, the design team has allowed for the future development of a new energy centre and multi-storey car park.

Enabling works are underway with completion of the Healthcare Building planned for summer 2018.

Construction is scheduled to start this spring.
