IHP, a joint venture between Vinci Construction UK and Sir Robert McAlpine, is building the new facility at Greater Manchester West (GMW) Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust’s Prestwich site.
The new two storey Tier 4 Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) in-patient facility includes 20 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a separate area for patients’ therapy, assessments, support and consultations.
A turf-cutting ceremony was held to mark the official start of work. Vinci regional director Mark Thomas said: “The ceremony marks the start of a new mental health development that will offer young people and their families a facility that delivers highly specialist services in a well-equipped and therapeutic environment. The new build will be a huge boost for GMW and enable the trust to successfully achieve their objectives.”
Completion is scheduled for autumn 2013.
