HKS have been appointed by Carillion as the Architectural Project Lead and have assembled a bespoke team to design the new Midland Metropolitan Hospital in Birmingham. Alongside HKS are Edward Williams Architects working as Architectural Design Lead and Sonnemann Toon Architects in their role as Architectural Clinical Lead.
The new state-of the-art hospital will have around 670 beds and 15 operating theatre suites.
Financial close is expected around the end of 2015 with construction starting early in 2016. Completion is scheduled for mid-2018, with the hospital opening in late 2018.
