The new building at 1 Lowther Road in Islington represents the first integrated community mental health facility in the trust鈥檚 St Pancras Transformation programme.
Works include the demolition of an existing facility on site and construction of a new four-storey building interview, counselling and treatment rooms, staff offices, a caf茅 and group collaboration zones.
The building is designed to BREEAM excellent standards, with solar shading bolted on to the curtain walling to prevent heat gain and reduce the demand on mechanical ventilation systems. There will also be 70 sqm of solar panels on the roof of the building.
Kier was appointed through the Procure Partnerships Framework.
The contractor said that the contract award reinforced its position as 鈥渁 leading provider of healthcare facilities鈥� having last year completed the 拢98m reconstruction of Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot and built a 拢28.5m imaging centre at Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea.
