BAM Construction has won the contract to build Scotland’s biggest health centre in the east end of Glasgow.
The 10,000 sq m, three-storey North East Health Centre on Salamanca Street in Parkhead will accommodate 900 clinical and support staff providing a range of community health and training services currently located at nine different sites.
The hub will provide GP surgeries, a pharmacy, specialist children’s services, district nursing, health visitors, social work services , older people’s mental health services, learning disability services, sexual health services; addiction services, meeting rooms and a café.
BAM Construction regional director Bruce Dickson said: “We are delighted to be part of the team delivering this visionary health hub. This is a model example of the future provision of health services moving away from a hospital setting to a community-based location which is readily accessible with good transport links.”
The project will be delivered for NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and Glasgow Health & Social Care Partnership , and the £35 million design and build contract was awarded by hub West Scotland. It has been designed by Hoskins Architects. Construction work will begin next summer 2020 and is due for completion in early 2025.
Iain Marley, chief executive of hub West Scotland, said: “We are very pleased to continue our partnership with BAM Construction and are confident that this very important project will build on past successes. That confidence comes from the quality of collaboration on previous projects and BAM’s experience in the health sector.”
BAM Construction is also working in Glasgow on Stobhill Hospital’s dedicated mental health campus and Greenock Health Centre.
