Architect Sheppard Robson<\/a> has been appointed to transform the North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) estate, creating integrated health and social care facilities<\/h2>\n

Sheppard Robson has been appointed as lead consultant and architect for the acute hospital buildings<\/a> in collaboration with Medical Architecture<\/a>, as well as the education centre and administration buildings.<\/p>\n

The project \u2013 led by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust<\/a> with Manchester City Council<\/a> and Manchester Health and Care Commissioning, and supported by HIVE Projects \u2013 recognises that over 70% of the existing estate is in desperate need of rebuilding.<\/p>\n

Masterplan<\/h3>\n

Sheppard Robson has already been working on the masterplan for the development for nearly a year, leading a team that includes landscape designers Gillespies<\/a>, transport consultant Curtins<\/a> and planning consultant Turley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The overarching aim of the masterplan is to promote active and healthy lifestyles and the wellbeing of staff, patients, visitors and the community.<\/p>\n

The masterplan\u2019s design principle is to create a highly sustainable collection of buildings set around a new \u2018village green\u2019.<\/p>\n

This green space<\/a> will act as a focal point for the local community to use as an extension of the local neighbourhood for their health and care needs.<\/p>\n

Alex Solk, partner at Sheppard Robson and the practice\u2019s healthcare lead, said:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s rare to work on a project with such ambition and that will have such transformative outcomes for the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are radically rethinking the estate<\/a>, and the services and facilities provided, while also reshaping the relationship the hospital has with its community \u2013 a process that will have a far-reaching and lasting impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project is one of the first to receive funding through the Department of Health and Social Care\u2019s Health Infrastructure Plan (HIP) initiative, a major national initiative to invest in replacing and improving healthcare facilities.<\/p>\n

The \u00a354m in funding for the project will allow for enabling works, the provision of temporary accommodation for admin staff and other site preparation activity to go ahead this autumn.<\/p>\n

Once the blueprint and final funding for the redevelopment of the hospital site is agreed in early 2021, rebuilding work can begin shortly after that.<\/p>\n
