Concept design for new children’s hospital is unveiled
On 30 April, Dublin, Minister Leo Varadkar, together with the NPHDB Project Director, John Pollock and Eilísh Hardiman, CEO of the Children’s Hospital Group shared images of the proposed external design of the new children’s hospital with a group of children and young people who have been providing input, advice and feedback on the new hospital and its services. Members of the Youth Advisory Council met with Minister Leo Varadkar and the project directors at the Office of the Ombudsman for Children as part of its regular series of engagement sessions on the planned new hospital. The proposed design, which incorporates the two satellite hospitals

planned for Tallaght and Blanchardstown, delivers on the ambition to build one of the finest children’s hospitals which will positively impact the lives of children on the island for generations. The sharing of the image with stakeholder groups today marks a significant milestone in the new children’s hospital project. The distinctive oval shape and therapeutic gardens on the roof and

surrounding the hospital respond to the brief shared with the design team last autumn. The overarching objective for the project is to provide the best infrastructure for paediatric services and gives the new children’s hospital a memorable quality that captures the imagination of children and young people with a unique sense of place. It will also provide the best facilities to support the staff of the three existing children’s hospitals to continue to deliver excellent care. Minister Varadkar said: “This is the largest health infrastructure
project in the history of the State. But it’s only when you see a model or an artist’s impression that you realise just how much work has gone into the project, and I want to commend the Development Board for reaching this stage. We will all be really proud of this iconic Hospital when it’s built.” Eilísh Hardiman, CEO, Children’s Hospital Group said: “Our design
brief was deliberately challenging. It is critical that our ambitions from the outset are for the highest possible design standards as our children and young people deserve nothing less. I believe that the hospital design, together with that of the two satellite centres will support enhanced clinical outcomes for children and young people in Ireland. John Pollock, Project Director, NPHDB said: “Today marks a

significant milestone in the project. The external design is advancing and we are finalising the internal layout. We are currently engaged in contin- uous consultation with employees of the existing hospitals, with residents, with patient advocacy groups and with family representatives. They are giving us significant input, feedback and advice. We are well on the way to delivering on the vision of creating one of the finest children’s hospitals in the world and are delighted to share the image broadly today.”
