The Sisk and BDP design for the new healthcare facility incorporates air source heat pumps as a key part of the hospital’s decarbonisation strategy, helping reduce dependence on fossil fuels while improving long-term energy efficiency.
Dalkia will deliver the scheme’s full mechanical, electrical and public health (MEP) package, including installation and commissioning of all building services infrastructure required to support specialist treatment areas, advanced clinical functions and patient care spaces.
Because the centre is being constructed within the hospital’s live operational footprint, the construction methodology and MEP programme have been carefully planned to minimise disruption and allow the hospital to remain fully operational throughout the build.
Dalkia will work alongside BDP, which is acting as lead designer on the project.
The development is also expected to become the first major healthcare project to progress through the Building Safety Act Gateway process, marking an important milestone for the UK construction and healthcare sectors.
Colin Brunton, Regional Managing Director at Dalkia, said: “This project brings together technical excellence, rigorous safety standards and a shared commitment to creating the best possible environment for children and families. Working alongside our partners, we’re proud to support GOSH in shaping a facility that will enhance care, advance innovation and make a lasting difference for generations to come.”
Construction began last year, with piling works scheduled for completion this month. The new centre is expected to welcome its first patients in 2029.
