Building work by Balfour Beattie began in December 2006 and was completed in early April 2009.[1]
The £100m facility opened to first patient on 8 June 2009 and was built with the expectation that it would treat around 400,000 annually.[1] The facilities included 30 single-bed rooms with en-suite wet room, 30 rooms with four bays. [2] There are eight operating theatres and 12 short-stay surgical beds.[2][3] There is a MRI scanner and diagnostic services and specialist services such as cardiology, renal dialysis and gynaecology.[3]
The building was given an 'excellent' BREEAM rating.[4] Features were incorporated to reduce the impact of traffic noise form the surrounding area.[5]
