The Birmingham Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust<\/a> has revealed plans to build two new Birmingham hospitals<\/h2>\n

Along with its partners, BDP will provide architectural and technical engineering solutions to Birmingham Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust for the modernisation of healthcare facilities.<\/p>\n

Under the contract, a team of planners, designers, engineers and cost consultants from BDP<\/a>, Arup<\/a>, Archus<\/a> and WT Partnership<\/a> will lead the redesign of Birmingham Women and Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n

The new designs are set to help Birmingham Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust to continue improving the life chances of a generation whilst raising standards for patients and families in the region.<\/p>\n

The team will also engineer and design a new clinical building at Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital on Steelhouse Lane \u2013 adjacent to Waterfall House \u2013 a children\u2019s healthcare building designed by BDP and completed in 2018.<\/p>\n

The design approach for both buildings will aim to meet the standards set by the Government\u2019s ambitions to deliver a \u2018net zero NHS\u2019 by 2050<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They will also enable healthcare workers to deliver world-class outcomes for paediatric and maternity services at every level across the UK.<\/p>\n

‘Big Build will unlock huge potential’<\/h3>\n

Andrew Smith, head of Healthcare at BDP, said: \u201cThe collaboration between Birmingham Women and Children\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust, BDP and our partners will result in two world-leading healthcare facilities that will bring further international acclaim to a city which is already leading the way in innovative healthcare buildings.<\/p>\n

“Now more than ever, we understand the importance of buildings that create a thriving culture of research and innovation<\/a>, offer the best patient experiences and deliver impact across and beyond the NHS.<\/p>\n

“We look forward to working with Birmingham Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Foundation Trust to deliver both of these amazing facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Melbourne, the acting chief executive of Birmingham Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust, said: “These buildings are well past their natural life and are not suitable to providing the spaces and facilities we need for modern care.<\/p>\n

“Our Big Build proposal will provide value for money and unlock huge potential for the development of our existing and new services; opening the door to a new wave of research and innovation<\/a> tapping into the many world-class individuals we are lucky to call colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conor Ellis of Archus, commented: \u201cWe are delighted to be chosen as part of the team to help improve Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s healthcare across the West Midlands conurbation.<\/p>\n

“Building in innovative global best practice into the design, encompassing not only service transformation but ensuring its digital and green footprints work to make both hospitals class-leading.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dominic Cropper, director at Arup, added: \u201cArup is thrilled to be collaborating with BDP, Archus and WT Partnership on this exciting project that reflects the world-class service that the Trust provides to Birmingham and the wider UK.<\/p>\n

“For many of us, the hospital has been at the heart of our families for generations and this is an important project for us.<\/p>\n

“As well as helping to assure that the same leading-edge standards of healthcare are available for future generations, it also strengthens our reputation in Birmingham prior to our office move to the city centre in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n
