MJ Medical part of expert international team appointed to design Cambridge Children’s Hospital

MJ Medical is delighted to be part of the project design team, announced today, who will draw up plans for Cambridge Children’s Hospital. The team will be led by professional services company Turner & Townsend and will include experienced architects in a unique partnership between Hawkins Brown and White Arkitekter. MJ Medical will be providing the team with health planning services.

The appointment of the project design team, following a competitive tender process lasting several months, is a major milestone in the delivery of Cambridge Children’s, which is due to open in 2025.

Cambridge Children’s aims to provide a whole new way of caring for young people, integrating mental and physical healthcare, alongside world leading academic research, built on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

With a £100million of public funding committed to the project by Health Secretary Matt Hancock in 2018, Cambridge Children’s is a partnership between two leading NHS trusts – Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH), and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) – and the University of Cambridge (UoC).

Embedding genomic and psychological research alongside clinical expertise in physical and mental child health, Cambridge Children’s will be a brand new state-of-the-art hospital designed to take care of the whole child, not just their illness.

A fundraising campaign will be announced in spring, to raise £100 million in philanthropy for this visionary hospital. It will be a beacon of biomedical expertise that benefits children and young people across the East of England as well as nationally and internationally.
