“This car park is a precursor to our £425m hospital development programme that will be followed by a state-of-the-art BioCampus,” said Trust chief executive Aidan Kehoe. “We are expecting approval for the project from the Department of Health and Treasury in the coming weeks. In the meantime though, we are very excited about our new car park which will provide staff with much needed spaces.”
The car park will provide 700 spaces for staff, freeing up existing areas of surface car parking for construction of the new hospital. The ground floor level will provide accessible car parking spaces and storage and shower facilities for cyclists.
Vinci Construction regional director Mark Thomas said: “The new car park will provide a secure and well lit parking facility for staff, ideally located at the proposed entrance for the new hospital. We are delighted to have been appointed on this scheme.”
The scheme was awarded under the ProCure 21+ Framework and will be completed in February 2014.
Last year IHP (Integrated Health Projects) remodelled and extended the emergency department of the hospital.
