Health facility

Health spaces must deliver more, deliver quickly, and deliver for years to come. We provide solutions across the building lifecycle to deliver the health facilities of tomorrow – today. 

Leading the way in health construction and design

As a leading health facility solutions provider, we know that healthcare environments must provide the highest quality care and meet the needs of the people who work there.

We work with public sector clients including NHS Trusts and partnerships, and private healthcare providers. With unrivalled in-house technology capabilities, our teams are revolutionising how health facilities are put together and operated – from a flexible large-scale hospital design and construction build such as The Oak Cancer Centre at London’s The Royal Marsden NHS Trust. Or a deep retrofit of an existing building to deliver teaching spaces to train doctors and nurses of the future, like our project at School of Healthcare Sciences for Cardiff University.

Collaborating to deliver world-leading health facilities

When it comes to health, a trusted partner is crucial. With expertise covering everything from feasibility studies to post-build occupancy, our specialist team works innovatively and collaboratively with clients, consultants and end users at every stage of the building lifecycle. By tailoring solutions to customer need, we are revolutionising hospital design and construction, creating world-leading facilities, smart buildings and research and development hubs where healthcare can flourish for years to come.

Building technology that paves the way for medical legacy 

Health provision is evolving rapidly, which is why we bring our cross-sector capabilities to its design and construction. With many pioneering facilities moving towards ‘bench top to bedside’ – gathering clinicians, scientists and patients under one roof – physical spaces must be forward-thinking and flexible. The importance of technology in developing and operating these facilities has never been greater, and we’re using virtual reality to explore how we configure complex, technical spaces, such as operating theatres.

Our tech-led approach and talented Building Information Modelling (BIM) team deliver large-scale hospital construction builds that will take medical innovation into the future, such as The Oak Cancer Centre at The Royal Marsden NHS Trust in London. The striking new building, at the gateway to the world-renowned cancer hospital and research centre, will provide new outpatient facilities, medical day-care and collaboration space for clinical researchers to accelerate cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Transforming old spaces into futuristic hubs

We have delivered exceptional public and private healthcare facilities in some of the most unexpected buildings. Whether it’s new hospital construction, breathing life into tired estates or transforming underused community spaces into local medical hubs, we have the mindset and expertise to create smart, energy-efficient places that flex to the ever-changing world of healthcare.

Using industry-leading 3D modelling technology, we turned an underused warehouse into a state-of-the-art medical diagnostic centre for Spire Healthcare in Hertfordshire, UK.

Charting a net zero roadmap for healthcare 

Climate change is the greatest challenge facing our planet. Our Sustainable Buildings Monitor research and insight report highlighted that 5% of total UK carbon emissions emanate from the healthcare sector, with 92% attributed to hospitals.

We design and construct differently, making greater use of tech-led methodologies. Procuring with whole-life costs in mind, maximising social value outcomes, and using nature-based solutions to design for deconstruction and recovery will be crucial in driving the behaviours that get us to net zero.

A blueprint from our Entopia Building project in Cambridge, UK, is now being adapted across sectors in efforts to drive the changes needed. Together with the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, we used a world-first approach to transform a former 1930s Telephone Exchange into an ultra-low carbon sustainability hub, which will unite Cambridge’s brightest and best with a global network of environmentally conscious people to connect, collaborate and lead change.

Collaborating with our supply chain, clients and consultants on this journey is how we build a brighter, more sustainable future – it’s what makes us unique, and why clients return.

Integrating health and leisure sector services

Our partnership with Alliance Leisure is taking the integration of health and wellbeing to the next level. Together, we build places that encourage people to move, spaces that foster collaboration between services and health bodies, and ultimately buildings that are at the forefront of the health sector’s prevention strategy.
