The children’s hospital is estimated to have a total footprint of approximately 35,000m2, along with 5,000m2 of research space.
It will include as many outdoors spaces as possible such as courtyards, gardens, along with terraces for providing access to nature and spaces for play and relaxation.
Cambridge Children’s Hospital design and construction senior programme manager Andrew Tollick said: “There is still a long way to go before building work can begin but planning approval for the early external designs is a rock-solid foundation.
