Bouygues UK has signed an initial pre-construction services agreement with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to build the £670m Cambridge Children’s Hospital
The new hospital is set to provide 35,000 square meters of healthcare facilities over six floors, bringing together expertise from Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) and Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) with research from the University of Cambridge in a new building based on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Unusually, the hospital will treat both physical and mental conditions within the same building.
As main contractor, Bouygues UK will be working with a team that includes Arcadis, Terrell International and Aecom.
The building has been designed by HawkinsBrown in partnership with White Arkitekter. The architectural vision incorporates a mix of unitised and stick cladding systems, featuring glass reinforced concrete (GRC) panels, vertical terracotta fins, and picture frame details.
Construction costs have been estimated at £389m and overall project costs at £671m.
Matt Allen, director of new hospital construction at Cambridge University Hospitals, said: “Bouygues UK is a first-class contractor with proven expertise in building and delivering excellent healthcare infrastructure within a collaborative environment. This makes them an ideal construction partner to deliver such an important project. Together we can now get straight down to work in finalising our design and plans and ensuring best value for money under an initial pre-construction services agreement.”
