The Christie NHS Foundation Trust’s Paterson Building Development, completed in 2023, has both been shortlisted for the Greater Manchester Chamber Building of the Year.
The aim of the award is to recognise a building’s contribution to Greater Manchester in terms of construction and development. This includes a building’s significance to the City Region, its impact on the local economy, its effect on the local community, its importance in terms of urban regeneration and environmental enhancement, design and construction excellence, and its contribution to urban design and townscape.
A stringent selection process is undertaken with judges visiting all projects, with assessments made regarding design quality, construction techniques, sustainability credentials, function and use, economic and community benefits, value for money, innovation, and special features.
Sponsored by the Chartered Institute of Building, the winner will be announced at an Awards Dinner, hosted by BBC TV Presenter Roger Johnson on Thursday 29th February 2024.
The Paterson Building was delivered by Integrated Health Projects (IHP), the joint venture between VINCI Building and Sir Robert McAlpine and its supply chain partners, BDP, Arup and Imtech have realised a fantastic, state-of-the-art facility that will lead world-class transformational cancer research.
The building has become home to the largest concentration of scientists, doctors and nurses in Europe. 300 scientists and 400 clinicians and operational staff, practicing what is known as ‘team science’, will deliver clinical trials covering the full extent of the patient pathway, from prevention and novel treatments to living with and beyond cancer.
At more than 25,000 sq. metres and ten storeys high, the building is more than twice the size of the previous facility, allowing experts to deliver discovery research and translate their findings into innovative clinical trials, at scale.
Teams from Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and Integrated Health Projects (IHP) have topped out at Queen Alexandra Hospital. The new facility, which is a 5,250m2 Emergency department in the heart of Portsmouth, is due for completion later this year.
IHP projects win 'Best Interior Design category', 'Clinician's Choice' and Winner for 'Estates and Facilities Team of the Year' at Building Better Healthcare Awards.
Stuart McArthur, Health Sector Director at IHP, explains how innovation and evolution have been key components in the success of the IHP joint venture
