BHI Extension re-design starts

The BHI Extension will provide eighteen additional inpatient bed spaces for the Bristol Heart Institute, a world-leading centre for translational cardiovascular research and the leading academic cardiac surgery centre in the UK. The building will have accommodation over four floors with physical links with the main hospital at both level 7 & 8 providing continuity of inpatient accommodation. The two main floors (level 7 and level 8) have one four bed bay and four single cubicles with some support areas and two upper levels set back from the main Cottage Place façade for inpatient additional ward support accommodation and plant. The massing and form relate to the existing BHI building by extending the northern linear block eastwards and forms a new entry point to the UH Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust precinct off Marlborough Hill.
