By GlobalDataThe new pathology laboratory will enable the NHS Trust to integrate most of the pathology services currently provided in outdated facilities in the Old Medical School at Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) and some of those by St James’s University Hospital.
BAM Construction north east pre-construction director Paul Cleminson said, ‘It builds on an excellent relationship with St James’ and the wider Trust based on our previous work together at the i3TMRI/Hybrid Cardiac Theatre scheme and the backlog maintenance programme across Leeds as well as incorporating the most modern ways of working known to our sector.
“It also draws on the lessons we’ve learned through delivering the Nightingale Hospital for Yorkshire and the Humber. It’s an exciting time to be involved with construction but this scheme will be especially important as it pushes the boundaries for us all.’
It will be built in a way to be mechanically ventilated with heat recovery and systems to reduce power and re-use heat.
