Bouygues UK has been appointed by Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as the lead contractor for the design and build of the new Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre at West Middlesex University Hospital.
This new collaboration, secured through a competitive bid process, builds on the long-term partnership between the Trust, Bouygues UK, and its subsidiaries.
The build
Demolition works of the current MRI building at the hospital have commenced and the project includes:
- Five storeys of new build
- A rooftop plant
- A small terrace area
- On the ground floor, there will be a new single storey link corridor to the existing hospital building
This project underscores our commitment to delivering sustainable, state-of-the-art facilities that will significantly benefit the local community
Fabienne Viala, Chair and CEO of Bouygues UK, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering again with Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and leading the construction of this much-needed diagnostic centre. This project underscores our commitment to delivering sustainable, state-of-the-art facilities that will significantly benefit the local community.”
The new Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre at West Middlesex University Hospital
The new five-storey facility will provide vital diagnostic and treatment services in cancer, renal, and imaging for the local residents of Hounslow, Richmond, and Ealing.
The centre will also support outpatient care and will offer day services for patients.
The aim of this new diagnostic centre is to reduce health inequalities, improve patient outcomes, and provide care closer to home, freeing up space in the main hospital for inpatient care.
This new development is designed to be an all-electric building
Lesley Watts CBE, Chief Executive of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, said: “The new diagnostic centre at West Middlesex University Hospital will provide a vital service for our residents, speeding up diagnosis and treatment. Most importantly it will improve early diagnosis and health outcomes for patients in our community for years to come.”
Sustainability and social values
This new development is designed to be an all-electric building and supports both Bouygues UK’s and the Trust’s commitment to the sustainable development of new builds and facilities.
Additionally, social value will play a key role in the project and the contractor will be supporting the local community with apprenticeships and work experience placements, as well as working with educational institutions in the area and taking part in local charity initiatives.
The construction company will be taking on 11 apprentices and providing around 50 work experience opportunities with MITSkills
Bouygues UK is currently working in partnership with MITSkills, London Borough of Hounslow and JCP Hounslow on a training and skills development programme and sustainable long-term employment opportunities for local people.
The construction company will be taking on 11 apprentices and providing around 50 work experience opportunities with MITSkills throughout the project.
