Elliott has scooped a £5 million contract at Peterborough City hospital for student nurse accommodation.

The feature four storey building was designed by Elliott to incorporate their innovative off site manufacturing techniques and modular construction expertise which when combined offer the flexibility of bespoke design while maximising efficiencies by quality controlled factory manufacture and a reduced onsite installation programme.

Peterborough City Hospital's new accommodation block will be installed by Elliott in just 16 weeks on site. The building will have a 60 year structural design life with a 25 year structural warranty.

Elliott has incorporated a wide range of sustainable and eco features into the design, including increased levels of insulation, low-energy lighting, energy efficient heating systems and water-saving technology.

The Elliott system delivers all the benefits of off-site construction, whilst allowing complete design flexibility for features such as the inclusion of full height glazed walls within communal areas to maximise natural daylight inside the building, as specified at Peterborough City Hospital accommodation block.

Bernard Quenot, Managing Director of Elliott, said: "We have a long track record of providing high quality building solutions on time and within budget. Our off-site systems offer assured levels of quality as well as meeting all current regulatory requirements."
