£98m Project Tops Out At Sussex Hospital
A topping out ceremony has been held at Heatherwood Hospital in Sussex to celebration the completion of the new building's main structure.
Contractor Kier has been working on site as part of the hospital's £98m transformation programme. The 11,500 sq m site, will provide first-class out-patient and diagnostic facilities for cardiology, radiology, lithotripsy, physiotherapy and orthodontics. The building will have six operating theatres and 48 in-patient beds, plus 22-day case cubicles.
Members of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust joined Kier, to mark this significant milestone.
Martin Reilly, operations director for Kier Regional Building Southern, said: "Today marks an important milestone in the completion of the new building that is part of the transformation programme at Heatherwood Hospital. Over the last 12 months, work has progressed well and we are delighted that we are one step closer to providing vital new facilities for the hospital and its patients.
"We always look to leave a lasting legacy in areas in which we build. Working collaboratively with Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, we have engaged with the local community throughout this project as well as providing training opportunities for those who are considering a career within the built environment."
Within ten years of its opening, the aim is for the hospital to provide services for approximately 168,000 people each year, doubling what the existing hospital currently provides.
