Nice one! I like how it still manages to loom overhead even when you're still inside.

From a week or so ago....

From outside the Womens Hospital....

Brummyboy92 · February 15th, 2008, 05:10 PM

Have not seen an pdate on this for a while and I did not think I would like this at first with the coloured tiles but that last pic looks great and has changed my mind completly thanks for them!

Brummyboy92 · February 15th, 2008, 05:18 PM

Also I forgot to ask, what is this on the vid. At first glance I thought it was a monirail connection

matti01 · February 15th, 2008, 05:39 PM

Nothing that exciting, I'm afraid. It's a bridge to the buildings at the QE hospital site which will be retained (e.g. pharmacy, oncology) - I think they're calling it the 'skybridge'...or I might have made that up?

Erebus555 · February 15th, 2008, 06:34 PM

I'm still not keen on the coloured patches and the cladding, to be honest. But hey - I guess there's no pleasing some people

Any indication yet.

fruit&nut · February 17th, 2008, 12:44 PM

Mothballed last I heard!

GAZ · February 17th, 2008, 02:25 PM

i am pretty sure it is not going to be knocked down as it will cost too much because they cant just demolish it becasue of all the asbestos in it.

not sure what the long term plans are for it.

it may be too old and out dated to be a hospital, but it is still fine to be used for something else......maybe research labs...or even better a massive paintball range!!!!!!!

Bulldozer · February 20th, 2008, 02:10 AM

Some sections want flatening, But the original buildings ould be striped out and converted To more Admin or maybe Housing for medical students and staff (esential worker housing) once the remaing (un modernised areas) have had Asbestos from the risers stripped out.
Could it not be that the University moves into some of it as the campus adjoins ?

Erebus555 · February 20th, 2008, 06:25 PM

Could the Dental Hospital move there from the city centre?

feltip · February 20th, 2008, 06:35 PM

It is due to move there eventually.
Will see if i can nudge some information out of my friend at the university.
