NHS Trust wants to build new facility and expand life sciences cluster on surrounding land
Allies and Morrison and 1 Undershaft developer Stanhope have been formally appointed to lead the masterplan to redevelop St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.
Parts of the London hospital date back to 1845 with the proposals for the site including a state-of-the-art teaching hospital and major trauma centre as well as a wider regeneration, including further expansion of Paddington Life Sciences – a cluster of surrounding life sciences and data companies.
The new hospital is being designed by HOK with the Stanhope and Allies and Morrison team overseeing the masterplanning process for the whole estate.
The wider team including Savills on planning, Gillespies on landscape design, Gardiner & Theobald as project manager and LCA on consultation.
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust said that once the new hospital is built on the east of the site, the land that is then surplus to requirements will be redeveloped. The trust said its wider plans would “help to offset the building costs” of the new hospital.
The trust said design work for the hospital and overall masterplan is now underway, with the next phase of public engagement and consultation planned to start next month. It said it was looking to submit a planning application to Westminster city council next spring.
The forerunner of the wider plan is a Stanton Williams scheme for a research and life sciences hub planned for the site.
The Fleming Centre will contain laboratories and research spaces dedicated to tackling antimicrobial resistance.
It will also contain a “discovery centre” hosting exhibitions, events and partnerships with local groups, along with a canalside cafe, a community pavilion and public green spaces.
