Manchester Royal Infirmary’s innovative transformation project

World-class service deserves world-class facilities. And in the fast-moving field of medicine, the opportunity to expand, develop and enhance is a must. The rejuvenation of the Manchester Royal Infirmary Emergency Department will provide just that - state-of-the-art facilities, built with the future in mind.

This exciting renovation project will boost the facilities of the Manchester Royal Infirmary Hospital (MRI) Emergency Department, increasing capacity, providing a more efficient layout, and meeting the evolving requirements of 21st century healthcare.

The project’s expanded and improved Emergency Department will include 10 resuscitation bays, 27 major cubicles and involve the creation of six new operating theatres, supporting the hospital’s expanding role as a regional centre for emergency, major trauma, vascular, head and neck cancer, liver, transplant and other specialist surgery.

This two-phase development is expected to take three years to complete, and keeping the Emergency Department and theatres fully operational throughout the works is essential. While this adds an additional layer of complexity to an already challenging project, temporary access routes and separation from live construction works will allow for the facility to continue to provide its much-needed services, with little to no impact on those in the area.

With a wealth of experience in delivering contracts and frameworks in the healthcare sector, Mace is well-placed to add cost and programme benefits to the project, supporting the Trust through direct delivery, using the Department for Health Construction Framework.

Alongside the MFT and its key partners, we’re committed to leaving a lasting legacy for not only staff, patients and visitors but the wider community too.
