Plans On Show For £50m Plymouth Hospital

Plans for a new £50m hospital in Plymouth have gone on show as part of a special exhibition and briefing by international architects Foster + Partners.

The proposed new centre of clinical excellence is being planned for land on the Plymouth International Medical and Technology Park at Derriford.

It will be one of the first of its kind nationally and the first building in Plymouth designed by Foster + Partners.

Their team were joined by members of the 100-strong partnership of clinicians in Plymouth who are working to deliver the project with the health operator Circle.

The hospital, which will be built on land owned by the South West of England Regional Development Agency (RDA), will offer world class surgical, diagnostic and treatment services, complementing existing health facilities in Plymouth and creating 250 jobs.

Outline plans were submitted in November 2007 for the scheme which will be a major boost to the city’s economy and that of the region’s health sector. The hospital has received widespread support from Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, members of the business community, GPs and other health professionals.

The exhibition at the Future Inns Hotel, on the Plymouth International Medical and Technology Park, also featured a model of how the proposed new building will look.
