Interserve will build a new 37,000 square metre specialist clinical facility together with the alteration and refurbishment of the Grade II* listed Stanford Hall. The new Defence Rehabilitation facility is due to be operational in 2018.

Work also includes the refurbishment of an art deco theatre and other ancillary listed buildings as well as extensive landscaping work.

The new clinical rehabilitation centre for the armed forces is expected to improve and advance treatments provided for injured servicemen and -women.

The new facility will take over from Headley Court in Surrey, which has been in operation since 1947 but scope for expansion is limited.

Interserve chief executive Adrian Ringrose said: “We are very proud to have been chosen to build this state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility, which will ensure that our injured service-men and -women continue to receive the very best in medical care and that the UK remains at the forefront of advances in rehabilitation medicine.”
