Tilbury Douglas successfully completes mental health projects for Nottinghamshire Healthcare
Tilbury Douglas, a leading UK building, infrastructure, engineering and fit-out business, has successfully completed the construction of Tall Trees and the Glade at Highbury Hospital for Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
This includes a refurbishment and reconfiguration of Tall Trees, an existing two-storey building providing office accommodation with meeting rooms, breakout areas, meeting spaces and staff amenity/rest facilities for the Trust’s mental health crisis teams.
The second project, The Glade, is a refurbishment and new build extension to provide a new mental healthcare outpatient facility comprising consultation rooms, group activity rooms, reception, waiting area and staff facilities. Works also include a new fenced garden for service users.
The handover also marks the first anniversary of Sherwood Oaks Hospital, a 5,000m2 complex refurbishment project with new build extensions. Spread across three blocks, two of which house four wards and one comprising of an administration area, the new site provides modern healthcare facilities for the care of approximately 70 patients.
The Sherwood Oaks project generated £6.5m of social value investment back into the community, with particular emphasis on skills and opportunities. Alongside work placements and employment for local people, the project team engaged local businesses, with 64% of the supply chain being sourced locally, upholding Tilbury Douglas’ commitment to enhancing local economy spend across its projects.
“It is great to see the completion of our projects at Nottinghamshire Healthcare facilities, which will result in significant improvements in the care for its patients.”
