BDP-designed 拢237m Alder Hey children鈥檚 hospital in Liverpool opens today

The UK鈥檚 first 鈥榗hildren鈥檚 health park鈥� - the Laing O鈥橰ourke-built and BDP-designed Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool - has opened to the public.

Young patients will take their first steps into the children鈥檚 hospital today, a day before the existing Alder Hey hospital begins a five day move into its new home.

The 拢237m facility鈥檚 design was inspired by the children and young people who use the hospital, and features large, colourful wards with outdoor playing areas, as well as quirky animal sculptures and a spacious public realm.

It will treat around 275,000 patients annually and has 270 beds, together with 16 digitally enhanced operating theatres. WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff providing engineering services.
