NATURAL STONE CASE STUDY - VICTORIA HOSPITAL - BLACKPOOL

STONE DESCRIPTION:

Beautiful Derbyshire carboniferous sandstone, which has been used widely across the UK for all scale of projects – from major prestigious city centre developments to commercial and residential projects.

Stanton Moor buff sandstone and Stanton Moor pink sandstone are fine to medium grained sandstones, extracted from Dale View Quarry, Stanton-by-Dale, Derbyshire. The striking colour of Stanton Moor sandstone features a buff base with brown, gold and wild pink variation, adding depth and interest to both traditional and contemporary building designs. Extensive reserves allow selection from either Buff of Pink colour options.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

This contemporary designed new £45m Cardiac Services wing adjoining the Victoria Hospital, Blackpool, is now part of four hospitals in the North West that provides specialist Cardiac Services. Built under P21 framework initiative.

THE BUILD SOLUTION:

The new wing has been built with a clear aesthetic focus. Designed over three floors and arranged around a central courtyard the new wing occupies a corner of the existing Victoria Hospital site, and is connected into the hospital circulation, but is, in effect, a free standing facility.

The external façade is built on a steel frame, incorporating a mix of Stanton Moor buff - pink sandstone, ashlar cladding and masonry along side curtain walled glazing.

Stanton Moor sandstone, handset ashlar cladding and masonry provide the build with a vibrant exterior finish around the bottom section of this impressive façade.
