A new £7.5m Medium Secure Unit (MSU) for Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust is now complete.
The project, known as IHP, was a joint venture between Vinci Construction UK and Sir Robert McAlpine.
The 13-month contract started on site in November 2013 and included the extension of the existing unit to house an additional 25-bed supported living units, as well as office space for staff and additional car parking.
Joe Peers, Director of Estates and Facilities, said: "This significant investment has meant that we are in the position to provide a warm and welcoming therapeutic recovery environment, built to a very high safety standard.
"The additional 25 beds will allow the Trust to care for service users which had previously been cared for by a private provider for the last 12 years.
"As well as the environmental improvements, there will be a range of other benefits for the patients including access to a range of facilities both at the Edenfield Centre and the Trust site."
