Walsgrave Hospital
The new University ‘super’ hospital’ in Coventry replaces the old Walsgrave Hospital and the Coventry & Warwickshire Hospital and will provide the local community with world-class healthcare for decades to come.
Skanska Innisfree’s consortium obtained the PFI contract for the £400M redevelopment of the existing Hospital Site which included a Central Power Services Building, a Clinical Sciences Block (9,500Mt2), Acute Ward Blocks A/B/C/D (120,000 Mt2) & a Mental Health Unit (13,300 Mt2).
The new hospital is one of the largest PFI projects to be ever undertaken and took over 4 years to complete.
This NHS Hospital offers clean modern facilities which rival the best private hospitals. The hospital is five storeys high and a ¼ mile long and boasts 250 top specialists in heart care, stroke, joint replacements, diabetes and cancer care. The 1250 bed hospital is also equipped with many pieces of equipment that are so advanced only a few exist within the NHS and has 27 operating theatres.
