Research facility construction completed

The new centre will house more than 200 scientists and specialise in research into cardiology, neuroscience and sickle cell disease, with a major focus on stem cell research.

Project management and organisational change specialist Hornagold & Hills was responsible for project management, contract management and client’s representative support on the £30 m, four-year project.

“The principal challenge for us was managing a major project in the midst of a fully operational Denmark Hill campus and meeting the needs of multiple users,” said Hornagold & Hills director David Bird: “The hospital facilities located on either side of the new centre placed physical constraints on space and logistics solutions and commercial constraints on budget.”
