A team of experts have been chosen to drive forward plans for a new hospital in Norfolk.
Architects BDP will lead the design team to decide what the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn will look like.
It comes after the Government said the new hospital would not have to go through a review and its board also approved the case for the new building.
The full team will be:
- BDP – who bring international expertise in healthcare design.
- Structural and civil engineers WSP who are technical experts in design and sustainable projects.
- Mott MacDonald who will lead as mechanical, electrical and public health engineers.
Peter Cox, Programme Director – New QEH, said: “We are thrilled to have appointed such an impressive, experienced design team. This group have a wealth of experience in healthcare design for major national and international projects. I am confident they have the expertise to create plans for a new hospital that our local community can be proud of.
“We know just how much The QEH means to our patients and staff and this is another positive step forward in our journey towards making plans a reality by 2030.”
Meanwhile, if you’d like to find out more about plans for a New QEH, come along to one of the public events on “Our Future QEH” taking place at various locations across the local area, as well as a virtual online session.
