Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust’s new Highgate East inpatient facility will provide first-class, 21st century mental healthcare for adults across North Central London
Akin Durowoju, Development director, Camden and Islington (C&I) NHS Foundation Trust, and Kevin Mahon, Construction Manager, BAM, explain how the Trust’s new ‘flagship’ Highgate East inpatient facility will provide first-class, 21st century mental healthcare for adults across North Central London.
The scheme is being undertaken by C&I, and forms part of the wider St Pancras Transformation programme. The Trust is a major provider of NHS mental health and substance misuse services in Camden and Islington. BAM Construction is the contractor behind the £70 m scheme, working with Ryder Architecture. The 78-bed new hospital, located in the heart of Archway in the London Borough of Islington, will create a purpose-built environment for mental health recovery. It will provide a range of spaces to support service-users, including access to a garden from each ward, quiet rooms, family visiting spaces, a faith room, and a gym.
