A new benchmark in hospital design

Calderdale Royal Hospital
Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK
At a glance

Located in Halifax, West Yorkshire, the Calderdale Royal Hospital expansion will almost double the size of the existing hospital, transforming healthcare services for communities across Calderdale and Huddersfield.

Working alongside our design partners Arcadis and AECOM, the project combines modern methods of construction and digital design to create a healthcare facility that meets the needs of patients, clinical teams and communities for generations to come.

The new hospital will provide a new Emergency Department, with a dedicated Children’s Emergency Department, and eight new wards.

Modern methods of construction

By leveraging Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), offsite manufacturing and the capabilities of our Specialist Trading Business Group, the project team will improve programme certainty and reduce on-site construction.

Using our blueprint for hospitals, we are working closely with the Trust, its patient groups and the wider project team from the outset, to design and deliver a programme that embeds modern, sustainable methods of construction that will ensure the highest quality, safer working environments, and programme accuracy.

Sustainability

Beyond the hospital itself, the project will create opportunities for local employment and education through engagement with local schools, delivering lasting social value across the region.

Sustainability and biodiversity have been promoted throughout the design using the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment method (BREEAM), with the scheme targeting an ‘Excellent’ rating. This includes measures to create an overall positive impact on the local environment and maximising sustainability in areas including energy efficiency, waste segregation and mitigating pollution.

Through modern methods of construction, and in delivering decarbonisation and operational energy performance in line with the ambitions of the NHS Net Zero Standard, the design represents a new benchmark in hospital design.
