HOSPITAL REDEVELOPMENT
and rheumatology, while also provided will be new car parking, bed and furniture storage areas, and security. A new energy centre will also be provided. Level 5 of the building will connect directly to the hospital’s Emergency Department, allowing it to greatly expand its floor area, and providing easy horizontal transfer to it. The new build will incorporate ambulatory care, neuroscience and polytrauma theatres, an interventional radiology suite and acute imaging, while floors 7-11 will house medical, neurology, stroke and brain injury, elderly care, and critical care wards, an inpatient therapeutic garden, relatives’ overnight rooms, a simulation suite, management offices, and teaching facilities.
New main entrance
The Stage 1 building will also incorporate the hospital’s new main entrance, with a spacious reception and retail outlets, while Level 6 will house large public spaces, including a café, ‘The Sanctuary’ multi-faith space, the PALS service, and a link to the Stage 2 building’s roof gardens. The building’s design makes the maximum use of natural light and open spaces. Duane Passman elaborated: “At ground floor level, you will be able to walk in through the new main entrance, right through to the back of the hospital, and get a lift up to the tower. This will improve access, while on Level 5 you will be able to get between the new building and the Emergency Department, and on Level 6, through the Tower Block to the site’s north side. There will be a new underground car park for patients and visitors, with overall access to the hospital greatly improved.”

Improved cancer treatment facilities
Next to be built, with construction due to start in summer 2020, will be the ‘Stage 2’ building, housing the new and expanded Sussex Cancer Centre, with more space for chemotherapy. and more linear accelerators. Patients will no longer need to be taken outside on being transferred between inpatient areas and treatment facilities. The considerably larger Cancer Centre will significantly increase the number of patients who can be treated at the hospital, reducing the need for them to travel elsewhere. The Stage 2 building will also house additional research and training facilities. Duane Passman said: “The building will have its own entrance on Eastern Road, an ambulance drop-off and collection point, and direct access to the new underground car park, plus rooftop gardens. Stage 1 is due to complete in 2020, Stage 2 in 2023, and Stage 3 – demolishing the existing
Cancer Centre on the east of the site and setting up a goods distribution centre in its place – in 2024. That will mark the project’s end.”
Historic considerations
The Barry Building will be demolished in 2020, prior to the start of Stage 2. Duane Passman said: “In fact English Heritage was considering listing it, although only part of the original structure is still intact. I argued, however, that not only is it one of the architect’s early buildings, and not terribly interesting, but that it has also been changed very dramatically over the years, and lost much of its original sense of proportion. I also pointed out that many of the additions had been designed by other architects. English Heritage also looked at the windows, and realised that a number had been replaced just a decade or so previously by UPVC. At that point they took on board my arguments that the original building had been added
