A student accommodation and modular hospital project has been hit with a two-year delay after damp and mould were found in the building<\/h2>\n

The student accommodation and teaching facility at Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Kent was announced in June 2021 and was set for completion in March 2022.<\/p>\n

ESS Modular is the main contractor on the project.<\/p>\n

The modular hospital project promised to provide accommodation for 145 medical students and trainee doctors, plus an academic teaching building.<\/p>\n

The building is riddled with damp issues<\/h3>\n

However, the building is now facing a two-year delay after mould and dampness<\/a> were found throughout the building caused by leaking.<\/p>\n

Sources told the Enquirer:\u00a0\u201cThe whole job has become an embarrassment that no-one wants to talk about because it is riddled with damp issues.”<\/p>\n

The modular hospital was set to be installed with solar panels, a green wall, and other sustainable features to achieve a BREEAM rating of excellence.<\/p>\n

According to a spokesperson for the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust<\/a>, damage caused by the ingress of water has been rectified, and internal works will resume once external cladding is complete.<\/p>\n
