A large scale reconfiguration, this £25m project was acquired via P21, and saw us working with Laing O’Rourke on a challenging project that required a total refurbishment of existing paediatric and medical wards within two hospital wings to accommodate a new theatre, 9 new wards and outpatient facilities within Leeds General Infirmary. Carried out while the facility remained operational, we developed a strong relationship with the various ward users in order to establish a scheme design to suit their specific clinical requirements, be tailored to patient and staffing needs, adhere to the limitations and restrictions of the existing building and, above all, be child friendly!
