Designed by NBBJ and HKS, the new Royal Liverpool University Hospital cohesively integrates an inspirational landmark building with complex clinical and technical criteria. Its key drivers are: a healthy hospital; patientand staff-focused; a civic institution; and sustainable. The complex technical needs have been considered alongside the creation of comfortable, attractive and functional surroundings.

An outstanding example of workplace and education design, The Spine is designed to WELL Platinum Standard and is set to be one of the world’s healthiest buildings. The new northern home for the Royal College of Physicians encompasses its values throughout. Designed by AHR, The Spine houses a mix of activityfocused areas set across a flexible layout. With some of the best and most advanced medical simulation facilities in the world, there are spaces designed to host the PACES examinations and medical assessments.

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre will have a significant and positive impact on the health and wellbeing of the people of Liverpool and the wider Merseyside region. BDP designed the building to step back at its upper levels, creating external terraces that give access to landscaping, fresh air and spectacular panoramic views. Two atria aid intuitive wayfinding, allowing daylight to penetrate deep into the radiotherapy waiting area and main entrance. The building has been designed to be flexible for future expansion, has met or exceeded its sustainability targets, and was completed broadly on programme.
