It will serve children and young people from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
Cambridge Children’s Hospital design and construction senior programme manager Andrew Tollick said: “This is a big milestone for Cambridge Children’s Hospital, not only in planning terms, but in sharing our vision for ‘a whole new way’: one that integrates children’s mental and physical health services alongside world-class research to provide holistic, personalised care in a state-of-the-art facility.”
The hospital will have outdoors spaces including gardens, courtyards and terraces to provide access to nature. It will also feature spaces for play and relaxation that support biodiversity and wildlife.
The new healthcare facility will cover an area of approximately 36,000m2 and feature 5000m2 of research space.
