IHP Highly Commended for The Paterson Building and Aspen Wood at European Healthcare Design Conference
4th July 2024
We are delighted to announce that Integrated Health Projects (IHP) has been recognised with two Highly Commended Awards at the European Healthcare Design (EHD) Conference Awards 2024 ceremony.
The Christie Paterson Building Development was Highly Commended in the Health and Life Sciences category; more than just a building, the Paterson houses world-leading scientists, clinicians and operational staff in a new £150m cancer research centre completed last year. It is part of the Manchester Cancer Research Centre and is one of the top cancer research facilities in the world. The building, partly funded by The Christie Charity, is part of a partnership between The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, The University of Manchester, and Cancer Research UK (CRUK).
Aspen Wood is a new 40 bed specialist learning disability unit and provides care for those who need the lowest level of security appropriate for them. It was delivered for Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust and was Highly Commended in the Mental Health Design category.
The EHD Awards attract submissions from around the world including Europe, United States of America, Canada, Australia, Middle East and China. The judging panel includes eminent international healthcare design professionals, so these awards clearly demonstrate the exceptional quality of these IHP projects and the dedication of our teams who worked on them.
At the EHD Conference, Stuart Pepper (CRUK), Matthew Hird (BDP) and James Chimeura (Arup), also delivered a fantastic presentation on The Paterson Building, complimenting the design and construction team on delivering an impressive building, and how they were able to restart their ‘science’ just four days after handover.
