Work has finished on the first phase of a new cutting edge care unit in Sheffield.
The Critical Care Unit is a major health project within the city as it addresses a recognised need for enhanced facilities in the treatment of severely ill patients. The development will provide wards with a higher proportion of single rooms, where nursing staff are more able to cope with complex medical conditions.
The single-storey Therapy Services Unit will offer additional treatment spaces plus gym facilities, patient changing rooms and an open plan waiting area. The architects have maximised window openings to allow natural light to penetrate the building and provide patients with interesting views from their hospital beds.
Mark Barker, associate at Race Cottam, said: “The whole project has been designed with the needs of patients, visitors and staff at the forefront of our vision. The result is a design that reflects current thinking in the health care sector and a development we hope will improve the quality of health care across the region.”
The project is being procured under the NHS Procure21 principles of partnering with HBG Construction Limited as developers of the project.
