BAM Construction is to build a new three storey ward block development for the Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The development also includes a new accessible link to Smith Lane, a new Critical Care Unit, car parking and roadways for the hospital.

The three storeys will include new paediatric and elderly patient wards and retail and refreshments provision, and improved access arrangements around the hospital.

Paul Cleminson, BAM's Project Director, said: "The critical factor for any construction scheme is the ability to work collaboratively. In a live hospital environment, this is so important. Our engagement with the client will be enhanced by our market leading use of BIM technology.


"Our record of delivering schemes locally in Bradford and Yorkshire is well known. BAM is already very engaged with changing the landscape, such as at Bradford College. But this is reinforced by our UK wide healthcare experience. This adds real value to a technically challenging project like this.

"Our experience of complex health schemes for the NHS includes delivering multiple projects during a long term relationship at Sheffield. BAM is also currently engaged delivering healthcare facilities in Liverpool, London, Scotland, Wales, and Somerset."

BAM expects to commence on site in Spring.
