Sisk/BDP To Deliver £190m Great Ormond Street Fourth Phase
John Sisk & Son and BDP have been selected to deliver the £190 million fourth phase of Great Ormond Street Hospital's (GOSH) Redevelopment Programme.
The companies were named as the winners of an architectural design competition to find a team to develop a new clinical building for the hospital.
Sisk and BDP beat two other shortlisted teams, Carillion (with Eric Parry Architects acting as design architect and Conrad Gargett as healthcare architect) and Skanska (with Heatherwick Studio and HOK acting as design architect and HOK as healthcare architect), to secure the contract.
The new clinical building on Great Ormond Street in central London will become the hospital's new 'front door', replacing outdated facilities with a high quality environment.
The Sisk/BDP scheme includes public realm proposals linking to internal wayfinding, creating an active frontage and an architectural expression of the activities taking place within.
The 'four houses' concept responds to the domestic scale of Great Ormond Street and the 'lily pad' winter gardens with embayment spaces between them will enhance the inpatient experience, offering views of nature from every bedroom window.
Chief Executive of GOSH, Dr Peter Steer, said: "After comprehensive analysis and debate the John Sisk & Son with BDP team led the field. Partly this was because of the quality of their concept design, which was really popular among the GOSH community when the design proposals were anonymously exhibited side by side.
"Just as important was the strength and depth within the team, who clearly demonstrated a deep understanding of the GOSH values, creativity, expert clinical planning and a robust commercial proposition.
"We look forward to partnering with them to develop proposals for this special building, the success of which is essential to the future of sustainable, outstanding specialised healthcare for children and young people at this historic location."
The Trust is now entering into an early design agreement with John Sisk & Son Ltd so that design development work can continue and the scheme can be brought forward for planning permission.
