A new two-storey modular urgent treatment centre will provide five ground-floor treatment rooms, a reception and waiting room, accessible toilets, and a utility room.

There will also be offices and a training/simulation suite on the first floor, as well as a comms room, additional toilets and multifunctional space for hotdesking and meetings.

The project was procured via SCAPE, one of the UK’s leading public procurement frameworks and was delivered by Willmott Dixon Interiors on behalf of Brighton & Sussex University Hospital NHS Trust.

The project team also included Noviun Architects, Campbell Reith Consulting Engineers, Van Zyl and de Villiers, and Ward Williams Associates.

Graham Shaw, managing director of Willmott Dixon Interiors, said: “Modular construction is enabling us to deliver a faster and more-efficient build which minimises disruption for NHS staff.

“The new building will supplement the hospital’s existing A&E facilities, providing access to urgent treatment and additional clinical space, as well as supporting a better patient flow through all parts of the department.”
