Edinburgh Royal Infirmary
The long awaited construction of the New Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh commenced on site at Little France in June 1998. The £160M, 870 bed hospital was procured through the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) route.
Location: Edinburgh
Client: Edinburgh Royal Joint Venture
Cost: £160m
Completion: 2003
Handed over in stages to the NHS Trust and The University Medical School, full patient occupation was achieved in Spring 2003.
Blyth & Blyth were Civil and Structural design engineers for the entire project in a commission that spanned five years. The building houses all operations and aspects of a modern acute hospital but in addition includes significant research facilities including laboratories and teaching accommodation for the University Medical School.
