Henry Brothers To Develop £15m 'Mock Hospital' Facility In Nottingham
Henry Brothers Midlands has won a contract to develop a new £15 million 'mock hospital' facility at Nottingham Trent University.
Procured through Pagabo's Major Works Framework, the 34,000 sq ft building at NTU's Clifton Campus will serve as the base for the university’s Institute of Health & Allied Professions, which offers a range of specialist courses such as Adult and Mental Health Nursing, Paramedic Science and Public Health.
One entire floor will be dedicated to simulated healthcare environments including hospital wards, consultation and counselling rooms, and even a flat for home and emergency care scenarios. The settings will also feature lifelike patient manikins to give students the experience of working with men, women and children with a variety of injuries.
Two additional floors will provide office and flexible teaching spaces, including removable seating in lecture theatres to allow for creative learning approaches such as role play.
The centre will allow NTU to equip future healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed for modern healthcare.
Ian Taylor, managing director of Henry Brothers Midlands, said: "We are proud to have been selected to build this facility which will have such an important role to play in training future generations of healthcare professionals.
"Henry Brothers Midlands has successfully partnered with Nottingham Trent University on a number of projects in recent years, helping to create first-class facilities for a range of disciplines, including a new £23m engineering building and the £9m Enterprise Innovation Centre, which is currently being built, and we are delighted to have been appointed on this latest state-of-the-art scheme."
The scheme is being led by NTU’s capital projects group within the Estates department. As well as main contractor Henry Brothers – appointed under the Pagabo Framework - the delivery team includes external project managers, Edge, together with architects, Pick Everard, and Turner & Townsend, Atkins and Waterman Group. Work is expected to get under way on site this month with completion due by January 2022.
