The Skanska Innisfree consortium has been named preferred bidder for the £265 million hospital redevelopment of Kings Mill and Mansfield hospitals for Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust and Mansfield District Primary Care Trust. Consortium architect, Swanke Hayden Connell, is the design team leader for the 95,000 m2 new building and refurbishment project.
Three T-shaped ward blocks, linked together over five-floors will rise above the uniquely designed Diagnostic & Treatment and Women & Children’s Centres and they will all enjoy a southerly aspect providing light and airy accommodation with views of the reservoir and countryside beyond.
Mansfield Community Hospital, which is just one mile from the town centre, has been designed to be a landmark for the community it serves with access for both pedestrians and vehicles being greatly improved.
A new main entrance will be designed to include shops and a patient information centre. A new specialist Rehabilitation Centre will be constructed and wards refurbished. The Therapy Department will be expanded and improved and new Outpatient accommodation will also be provided.
