About the Project

A well-designed hospital can help patients to recover their health and spirits.
This new state-of-the-art medical complex incorporates courtyards and gardens, lots of natural sunlight, flexible spaces and a streamlined approach to patient care.
The project was funded under the Government's private finance initiative, whereby a private sector consortium builds and maintains the building and leases it back to the NHS.
The judges said:
"This is the largest public building to be developed in Norfolk and has been designed and developed using the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) as a procurement route, but with a strong emphasis on effective use of design and technology. The design makes good use of natural light and airy volumes within the building. The project was completed five months early."
