Construction News Image
Construction firm Galliford Try has commenced building works to develop a new mental health inpatient unit for Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

The new unit is located on the St Peter's Hospital campus in Chertsey, Surrey.

The £35 million Northwest Hospital scheme, procured through the Southern Construction Framework, will see a new hospital built on the site of the former Abraham Cowley Unit.

The works include the demolition of the existing buildings to be replaced by a modern mental health inpatient unit, which will feature 64 bedrooms with en-suite facilities. In addition, the project includes communal areas, assisted bathrooms and associated support rooms, as well as therapeutic gardens and external courtyard spaces.

All facilities will be constructed with the needs of inpatients at the forefront, using best practice in creating safe and therapeutically appropriate spaces that assist staff and clinicians to provide the best care possible.

Gavin Bridge, Managing Director of Galliford Try Building Southern, that will deliver the unit, commented: "We are delighted to have been appointed to this fantastic new scheme and look forward to working with Surrey and Borders, Southern Construction Framework and all the stakeholders involved to create a much-needed high-quality facility for the region."
