The Elizabeth Garrett Anderson building is based at the University's Severn Campus and includes an anatomy laboratory, GP simulation rooms, teaching/study spaces and a cafe.
Work began on the site in 2021 and marks the fourth project Stepnell have completed on behalf of the University.
Commenting on the completed work, Adrian Barnes, regional director at Stepnell, said: "The Elizabeth Garrett Anderson building is our fourth project with University of Worcester and shows the success of our collaborative approach in creating lasting partnerships. Having this strong relationship helps to mitigate any risks to maintain the end goal of delivering a high quality project in time and to budget, which is what we have achieved.

"The building is uniquely enveloped with gold copper shingle and is flooded with natural light from the impressive North light roof structures, so it was a priority to use our experience to ensure the redevelopment project would retain the legacy of this 1965 building, while delivering on sustainability and creating a modern teaching space. Throughout, we were also pleased to work with the University and its students and put in place measures to reduce emissions."
The building achieved a Gold SKA environmental rating from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and an energy performance certificate A rating.
Reflecting on the project, Mark Evans, assistant director of Estates at the University of Worcester, said: "The University of Worcester has worked with Stepnell on a number of projects since they were appointed to our Medium Works Contractor Framework. This includes recently completing our fantastic new Elizabeth Garrett Anderson building on our Severn Campus. Stepnell has demonstrated it can work collaboratively and innovatively to deliver what the University believes will be an outstanding teaching facility for the future healthcare and medical professionals."
