Skanska Begins Premier Inn Clinical Development
Skanska has started construction work of the Premier Inn Clinical Building at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The development will form the second part of the Mittal Childre'’s Medical Centre.
The building, which will open in 2017, will also include a respiratory ward and a 16-bed isolation unit for children with dermatology and rheumatology conditions or infectious diseases. The new facilities will provide space for a parent or carer to stay by their child’' bedside overnight, more room for children to play and eat together, and areas for carers to have a break.
The Premier Inn Clinical Building is the second development in the Mittal Children's Medical Centre and will connect floor by floor with the Morgan Stanley Clinical Building which opened in 2012. Once complete, it is anticipated that the entire hospital will be able to treat up to 20 per cent more children with the most complex, rare and often life-threatening conditions.
Great Ormond Street Hospital Chief Executive Julian Nettel said: "We are incredibly grateful to all our supporters who have made this day possible. Thanks to their generosity, we will be able to fulfil our vision of providing world-class treatment in more comfortable and appropriate facilities suitable for patients and their families. We will also be able to treat more children from across the UK who need our care."
