By GlobalDataFollowing completion of construction, the hospital will be able receive 90% of the major trauma patients in Greater Manchester.
Construction work on the site will begin from next month. The project has been designed by Day Architectural.
The six-storey hospital is expected to complete by next year.
BAM healthcare construction manager Rob Bailey said: ‘We have worked extensively on the design and programme with the Trust to understand fully what their requirements are, and focus completely on what matters to them – providing a high quality building in which their patients are cared for and their staff can provide that care. That is how buildings should be delivered, with the outcomes the client wants placed at the centre.
“We have an integrated capability to deliver facilities, because apart from constructing buildings, we also design them, develop them and manage facilities inside them. This insight and understanding of the built environment empowers our use of digital tools and construction techniques, and it enhances the sustainability and energy efficiency we can bring to make buildings better to use and more efficient to run.’
The 9,800m2 facility will feature resuscitation area along with five emergency theatres, inpatient beds, and diagnostic imaging, and a helipad.
