Create a new state-of-the-art diagnostic facility MRI Suite in the former kitchen and chapel situated, (which were relocated) within the main block at Hull Royal Infirmary. Work took place in a single storey ground floor building. The site was located adjacent to the hospital tower block and other taller multi-storey hospital buildings.

Completed during the COVID-19 pandemic, taking a bare shell and fully constructing a new MRI suite. An external service road provided direct access to the exterior area of the MRI building. The external facade of the building was over-clad and a dedicated secure external chiller unit and plant area was created to specifically serve the MRI facility.

The scheme was completed on time, within budget and handed over with zero mechanical and electrical snags, which has set a new precedent for contractors.
