Project details

The new building for Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust brings emergency department, ambulatory care and assessment units together under one roof, revolutionising the emergency care within the local NHS by delivering one-stop emergency care and assessment. The project achieved required key technical innovations including prefabricated MEP service modules, BIM and VR modelling, and a design that optimises departmental proximities to reduce staff numbers and patient travel distances.

The project was shortlisted for Project of the Year 2019 by Building Magazine.
