The Project
The wing was designed by Bowman Riley as part of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s investment on improving patient care in its hospitals over the next five years. The wards are linked across the front with an atrium entrance, improving access to all wards and departments to the rear of the BRI site. The main entrance at the front of the BRI has undergone a major overhaul with a new reception area which houses a new Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) and Bereavement Centre. The refurbished entrance also provides new shops, a coffee bar and a restaurant.
Partner contractor BAM Construct built the wing housing two new modern spacious wards to accommodate Paediatric Services which will transform children’s services and future-proof against the known population increase for this age group. The development also includes a new elderly care ward and a state-of-the-art intensive care unit with increased single-room provision.
