History
The hospital, which was commissioned to replace the outpatient health care services previously provided by Glasgow Victoria Infirmary, was built on a site previously occupied by Queen's Park Public School. The construction work, which was carried out by Balfour Beatty at a cost of £100 million, began in December 2006 and was completed in early April 2009.[1]
Services
The hospital was designed to treat around 400,000 annually.[1] The facilities include 30 single-bed rooms with en-suite wet room and 30 rooms with four bays.[2] There are eight operating theatres and 12 short-stay surgical beds.[2][3] There is an MRI scanner and diagnostic services and specialist services such as cardiology, renal dialysis and gynaecology.[3] The building was given an 'excellent' BREEAM rating.[4] Features were incorporated to reduce the impact of traffic noise from the surrounding area.[5]
