en.Wedoany.com Reported - Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust has released the first images of the redevelopment of the St Mary’s Hospital site in Paddington, London. Parts of the hospital date back to 1845. The redevelopment plans include a state-of-the-art teaching hospital and major trauma centre, while also driving wider area regeneration, such as the further expansion of Paddington Life Sciences—a cluster of life science and data companies in the surrounding area.
The new hospital is expected to cost over £2 billion and is designed by HOK. Earlier this year, Stanhope and Allies and Morrison were formally appointed to lead the masterplan for the site's redevelopment, with the team responsible for the overall masterplan of the entire estate. A public consultation on the plans was launched last Thursday and will run until next month, followed by a second round of consultation later this year. A planning application is expected to be submitted next spring. The Trust stated that if planning permission is granted in 2028, construction could begin immediately, adding that this would enable it to deliver the new hospital by 2035, whereas the current New Hospital Programme timeline would delay delivery until at least 2043. The Trust said the work is urgent, as its current maintenance backlog has exceeded the funds available in recent years.
The wider planning team also includes: Savills for planning, Gillespies for landscape design, Gardiner & Theobald for project management, and LCA for consultancy. A precursor to this wider plan is a research and life sciences hub scheme by Stanton Williams, which was approved in April. The Fleming Centre within it will contain laboratories and research spaces dedicated to tackling antimicrobial resistance, as well as a "Discovery Centre" hosting exhibitions, events, and collaborations with local groups, along with a canal-side café, a community pavilion, and public green spaces.
