SHEFFIELD architects HLM have designed the Royal Hospital for Sick Children and Department of Clinical Neurosciences in Edinburgh.
HLM is part of the Brookfield Multiplex-led consortium, which won the contract to build the new hospital.
The project is the first acute hospital facility to be procured under the Scottish Government’s Non-Profit Distributing model and will be delivered as a stand-alone new build on the existing site of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
Lorraine Robertson, associate director at HLM, said: “This is a significant development that will help shape the future of health care in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
“The combined building will bring together both outpatient and inpatient facilities for paediatric care, specialist neonatal care, neurosciences and adult and children’s emergency departments together on one site to create a centre of excellence.”

INVESTMENT firm One Stop Business Finance has completed a £500,000 deal so that PC Redevelopments can start work on a residential site in Worksop.
PCR is planning to convert a courtroom and former driving instruction centre into several town houses and bungalows.
Andrew Mackenzie, One Stop managing director said: “One Stop Business Finance was comfortable with the high loan to value because of the client’s excellent track record. We structured the transaction imaginatively and have taken a profit share in the development to offset some of the lending risk.”
Paul Cutts, director of PC Redevelopments Ltd commented: “One Stop Business Finance Ltd has made the impossible possible.
“We knew we had identified a superb development opportunity but we were struggling to find a financial backer as we were such a young company.
“By understanding our situation Andrew created a deal structure that has given us the chance to build a high quality residential development in a sought after part of Worksop. I am genuinely excited about the future of the business.”
The legal work on this project was undertaken by Ben Slack and Marie Pugh of Clarion Solicitors in Leeds.
