Funding has now been confirmed by the Government and New Hospitals Programme for the new regional Centre of Excellence for cancer care in Brighton & Hove, Sussex.

The project follows the successful delivery of The Louisa Martindale Building, located next door to the cancer centre.

Laing O’Rourke’s Managing Director, Peter Lyons, said: “This is an incredible project and one that I am proud we are a part of. The new cancer centre will transform the experience of care for patients and the work environment for staff.

“At Laing O’Rourke we have a rich history in delivering hospitals, including The Louisa Martindale Building, so we’ll be able to use the power of our experience to improve the safety and efficiency on site, while guaranteeing the quality of product.

“Leveraging digital design and offsite manufacturing, along with our integrated supply chain, we’ll be able to minimise disruption to local residents.”
