Transforming care for sick children.
London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, renowned worldwide for the quality of its treatment for children and young people has, the NHS Trust which operates it acknowledges, "been battling for some time with buildings nearing the end of their useful life and in need of replacement". Currently taking shape, as part of an ambitious eight-year redevelopment of much of the site to bring it up to 21st Century standards, is a new eight-storey clinical building that will not only allow treatment of up to 20 per cent more patients annually, but will also reportedly be among London's "greenest" buildings.
