Wates has completed a new robotic pharmacy fit-out of the Burrell Wing at Winchester’s Royal Hampshire County Hospital.

Led by Wates, the Decarbonising Health Estates Partnership (DHEP) is a new, multi-disciplinary team of built environment specialists including British engineering company, Arup and the international architectural practice, HKS Architects.

Wates has announced the appointment of a new senior team focused on expanding the Group’s work in healthcare construction.

Wates has successfully completed work on the £79.7m renovation of Royal College of Surgeons of England’s new headquarters in London, bringing an historic and culturally significant building into the 21st century

Five weeks on from the project’s completion, Rob Clifford, National MEP Director at Wates Group, reflects on his team’s achievements delivering the 14th and 15th floors of the Royal London Hospital.

Our work has seen us fit out two floors of ICU bed stations spread over six wards within three wings, to provide essential extra capacity for the hospital to save lives during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Wates is using the combined expertise of its construction division and specialist engineering business, SES Engineering Services (SES), to help boost the number of hospital beds available in London for patients with Covid-19.

As highly technical and complex clinical environments, science facilities require a very meticulous and collaborative approach to construction.

Wates currently building the new purpose-designed mental health hospital off Haxby Road in York, has launched a campaign to promote positive mental health as part of the project.

Three of the UKs leading construction companies have been chosen to create Public Health Englands new state-of-the-art public health science campus and headquarters at Harlow in Essex.
