The NHS Nightingale Hospital North West is one of six buildings shortlisted for the Greater Manchester Chamber Building of the Year Award 2020.
The new hospital was built in just 13 days at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic under the ProCure22 framework. This project showcases the collaboration and true determination of all involved including Integrated Health Projects (a joint venture between VINCI Construction UK and Sir Robert McAlpine), NHS England, the Army, Manchester Central, NG Bailey, BDP (Building Design Partnership Ltd) and Mott MacDonald.
The aim of the 2020 Building of the Year Award is to recognise a building’s contribution to Greater Manchester in terms of construction and development. The following areas were considered during the selection process:
- Design quality
- Construction techniques
- Sustainability credentials
- Function and use
- Economic benefits
- Community benefits
- Value for money
- Innovation and special features
The award will be presented to the commissioning body at the Chamber Property & Construction Awards Dinner on 14 October 2021.
