HOSPITAL DESIGN
NHS Trust, said: “We’re very proud of the progress we have made with the plans for our new hospitals, and we’re excited by the concepts put forward for what will be the most important development in Leeds city centre for many years. Digital technology and world-leading innovative techniques will be central to the services provided in the new hospitals, while the old hospital estate will be redeveloped as part of the City’s Innovation District, bringing about direct and wider economic benefits of up to £11.2 bn in net present value terms, and more than 3,000 jobs. This redevelopment of the old LGI site will also help us to preserve some beautiful buildings with significant history to their former glory.”
Henri Murison, director of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, who also attended the concept designs’ unveiling, said: “Investment in infrastructure isn’t just an investment in bricks and mortar, it’s an investment in people and skills too, and it’s wonderful to see the dream of two new hospitals for Leeds progressing in this way. Not only will the hospitals provide the people of the city with world- class healthcare for the 21st century, but they will also unlock the Leeds Innovation District, and help bring jobs, investment, and prosperity, in health innovation to both Leeds and the wider corridor across the Pennines, building on world-class capabilities.”
Looking to the future
Andrew Smith, head of healthcare at BDP, adds: “By applying our experience in designing the best healthcare facilities around the globe, we are delivering a healthy and thoughtful hospital design for Leeds that looks to the future of best practice and innovation. Following a year where our NHS workers have, quite

rightly, become the pride of the nation, we have evolved our clinically-led designs into also thinking about the hospital as an exceptional workplace. That means the design will contribute to a more efficient, familiar, and pleasant environment for all staff, making it a great place to work. We are delighted to work with LTHT to bring this concept to life.”
BDP added: “The Trust is planning to begin construction in 2023, enabling it to align with the Government’s New Hospital Programme and benefit from the collaborative approach of working at scale, and allowing it to share its experience with other less-developed schemes, in areas such as digital technology, sustainability, and Modern Methods of Construction. By working in this collaborative way we will maximise the benefits and efficiencies, and ensure delivery of state-of-the-art healthcare facilities for local patients and staff, while also representing value for money for the taxpayer.”
The Hospitals of the Future project is part of the government’s commitment to build 40 hospitals by 2030, backed by an initial £3.7 billion.
The Trust also appointed WSP as its civil and structural designer on the project, along with Ove Arup as the client civil and structural technical advisor. WSP has also been appointed as the mechanical and electrical designer, and will also provide specialist Net Zero/sustainability and digital design advice. Mott MacDonald has been appointed as the client mechanical and electrical technical adviser, with Arcadis as cost manager. MJ Medical has been brought in as medical equipment adviser.
