Due for completion in Spring 2019, the first floor will be fitted out as part of this contract to accommodate one of the UK\u2019s first purpose-designed Ambulatory Care units, with the other two floors fitted out in the next phase of the development.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nUsing an offsite solution, the 80,000 sq ft wing build programme has been cut in half to less than 12 months. <\/p>\n
Raymond Millar, construction director of The McAvoy Group, said: \u201cWe are again pushing the boundaries of offsite construction. This is a highly complex project on a live hospital site. <\/p>\n
“We are integrating with the design of the existing hospital and using offsite construction to deliver the building to a very short programme, achieve exceptional value for money and to the Trust\u2019s stringent quality standards. <\/p>\n
“We have developed a hybrid solution which incorporates both offsite and in-situ building methods and are maximising fit-out in the factory for this first phase to enhance quality and reduce disruption to staff and patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

It will use larger, bespoke modules up to 14.85m long which have been specially engineered to provide a structural flooring solution that seamlessly integrates with the existing hospital building. <\/p>\n
Mechanical ventilation, heating and cooling systems will be installed in the ceiling voids in the McAvoy factory. This is believed to be an industry first in the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
