Work On Main Structure Complete At ACAD Centre At Heartlands Hospital
Kier has completed work on the main structure of new Ambulatory Care and Diagnostics (ACAD) Centre at Heartlands Hospital.
Members of University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) and the Heartlands Hospital Patient and Carer Council joined Kier, to celebrate the significant milestone.
Procured through the Department for Health & Social Care's P22 framework, the new £97.1 million building will provide state-of-the-art facilities all under one roof, including outpatients, endoscopy, day case surgery and imaging, and will serve nearly half a million patients each year.
It is one of the 20 NHS capital development projects to receive a share of the £850 million funding for new facilities announced by the Department of Health and Social Care in August 2019.
Richard Charman, operations and safety director at Kier Construction, Eastern & Midlands, said: "Over the last 18 months we have needed the NHS more than ever and we are proud to have reached this important milestone despite the challenging circumstances. We are pleased to progress the Ambulatory Care and Acute Diagnostics (ACAD) Building, as part of the P22 Construction Procurement Framework, supporting University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) to continue to deliver world class care to patients.
"We are committed to leaving lasting legacies in the areas in which we work and as part of this project so far we have provided six virtual work experience placements, supported six young people to take part in traineeships on site and created four new jobs. We currently have two NVQ apprentices in construction management onsite and a student completing a Construction Management BSc (Hons) degree providing fantastic early careers opportunities."
