Elliott has won the contract for a £5 m, 108-bed staff accommodation block at Peterborough City Hospital.
The four-storey building was designed to incorporate Elliott’s ‘innovative off-site manufacturing techniques and modular construction expertise’ which, when combined, ‘offer the flexibility of bespoke design, while maximising efficiencies via quality-controlled factory manufacture and a reduced onsite installation programme’.
The building will be installed in just 16 weeks on site, offering a 60-year structural design life, and a 25-year structural warranty.
‘Sustainable’ features incorporated include increased insulation, low-energy lighting, energy-efficient heating, and water-saving technology.
The Elliott system reportedly delivers all the benefits of off-site construction, ‘while allowing complete design flexibility’ for features such as the inclusion of full-height glazed walls within communal areas to maximise natural daylight inside
