WSP is part of the Brookfield Europe design team which has secured Scotland's' largest NHS construction project, the New South Glasgow Hospitals. We are providing multi disciplinary consultancy services including Civil & Structural Engineering, Sustainability, Fire Engineering, Traffic & Transportation, and Geo-Environmental, for the £575million project, which is being developed by NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde.
The new healthcare campus includes a new 14-floor adult hospital and a new 256-bed children’s hospital. The adult hospital will provide 1,109 beds, with most patients in their own single, en-suite room with a view. Once complete, the development will be the UK's largest healthcare campus and will cover an area equivalent in size to 11 football pitches.
The project draws on many skill sets from across the WSP business including Development & Transportation, Fire Engineering and Energy & Environmental in Scotland, Infrastructure in Newcastle and the Building Sustainability Team in Birmingham. Sustainability was a key component of the bid assessment which included very stretching carbon targets, many social sustainability requirements and a minimum BREEAM Excellent rating.
