PRIDE IN EVERY PROJECT

Alder Hey in the Park.

Reimagining what a hospital can be.

Research has shown that patients with access to views filled with light and greenery are more likely to recover faster. Our engineering and specialist designs helped ensure that the architectural vision – for almost all rooms to have a view of the park – could be a reality.

It’s a true departure from the typical idea of a hospital, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on a building of this scale and complexity further than ever before.
