Altnagelvin Hospital, Major Capital Projects Framework, Derry/Londonderry

Altnagelvin Hospital is an acute care hospital located in Derry~Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

Following a competitive procurement process, TODD Architects were appointed by the Western Trust in 2019 to the major capital projects framework. The competition brief called for the expansion and reconfiguration of existing departments within a live hospital site.

The newly configured space will comprise an extended imaging department, expanded ED services, new Clinical Decision Unit, new theatres and critical care facilities.

Our winning design considered phasing, buildability and integration of building services alongside ancillary accommodation on a complex live hospital site. The design rationalises patient, visitor and staff flows and creates a series of brightly lit spaces arranged around new landscaped spaces.

The first projects from the framework have now commenced with the internal reconfiguration of the Altnagelvin ‘tower block’.
