Our new building
The £97m investment in facilities will meet the evolving needs of the population that Heartlands Hospital serves. Having opened in January 2023, the building covers an 18,000m2 footprint, with each floor being around 3,600m2 – approximately half the size of the pitch at Wembley Stadium. The new build provides a modern, spacious environment purpose-built to meet the needs of our patients with dementia-friendly and accessible design features.
