“Working with an architect I knew…they understood the college’s aspirations and core values. It was important to work with architects I had worked with in the past, and knowing the extent of their expertise, was valuable and very important. Not just the architectural input into the scheme but it was the landscape, planning and interior architecture that made the scheme a success.”

“It is a real honour to have our project recognized, particularly in this city where there is so much innovative development going on. It is testament to the skills of our architect, IBI Group, who has done the almost impossible task of creating a modern, efficient, fit-for-purpose hospital out of a structure that was built in a time when electric lights were considered to be cutting-edge technology."

“To get this rating (BREEAM Very Good) in a new build is challenging but in a building that is over a hundred years old and was never intended for anything other than storage is exceptional. The challenges they have overcome are jaw-dropping."
