Willmott Dixon's early involvement in the design saw its team of construction specialists work with Central Bedfordshire Council, the Clinical Commissioning Group, GPs and local NHS providers to develop the service model and schedule of accommodation, which was designed on the principles of cura, Willmott Dixon's pre-designed integrated health and care hub concept.
Cllr Eugene Ghent, Executive Member for Housing & Assets at Central Bedfordshire Council: "I'm delighted we have Willmott Dixon on board and can start work on this exciting development, which will provide much needed housing and a building for health and care services.
