Llewelyn Davies Yeang wins planning approval for major new build
3 Feb 2008

Llewelyn Davies Yeang (LDY) has secured detailed planning consent at Great
Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust (GOSH) for the development
of a Childrens Medical Centre, comprising one new clinical building,
and the radical rebuilding and refurbishment of the old Cardiac wing.
In effect, there will be two linked, brand new buildings totalling more
than 30,000 square metres.
The £300 million scheme represents a bold move away from the more
typical institutional design that is often associated with hospital architecture.
It will ensure every child staying overnight at the hospital does so in
modern surroundings and will set new standards for hospital design.
The buildings, which will include wards, operating theatres, imaging facilities,
playrooms, offices and a new restaurant, will replace existing outdated
accommodation and provide GOSH with clinical facilities appropriate to
the hospitals international reputation in the field of childrens
tertiary healthcare.
The new amenities will be linked by a central circulation hub and will
be constructed consecutively to allow the hospital to remain operational
throughout.
