Henry Brothers 今日看料 is building a new 拢15m community health centre in Belper for the Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust.
It is being built on the site of the former Belper Clinic, as part of the Babington Hospital site in the town, and will accommodate all existing outpatient and clinical services provided at Babington Hospital.
Henry Brothers鈥檚 contract, procured through the Pagabo major works framework, has a 66-week construction phase. Project architect is Race Cottam Associates, project manager is Capita, civil and structural engineer is Eastwood Consulting Engineers and mechanical & electrical engineer is EP Consulting.
A ground breaking event was attended by representatives from Henry Brothers and the trust.
Trust chief executive Tracy Allen said: 鈥淏ack in 2017 we first started talking publicly about the need for new community health facilities for Belper and it鈥檚 been a long and eventful seven years to reach this point, involving several changes of plan and a pandemic which put everything on hold.
鈥淪o, to be able to put the first ceremonial spade in the ground to start construction is a really fantastic moment. It鈥檚 a tribute to the many people who have helped us reach this point. I can鈥檛 wait to see the architect鈥檚 plans come off the page as the building takes shape and becomes a purpose-designed environment for local people to receive a range of community health services for years to come.鈥�
