Works update: 5 April 2024
The work on site to convert former administration areas into a new 20-bed ward is progressing well – installation of the windows is taking place, as is the work to replace the external cladding.
Inside, the building of the new internal walls has been completed and electrical, plumbing and ventilation equipment is being installed. The new bed lifts are being installed and plastering and painting of the walls is due to be completed shortly.
Over the coming weeks, we will be continuing to install flooring and doors across all floors and painting will take place on levels 2 and 3. We will also be starting work to improve some of the existing nearby areas.
Some weekend work is required on site so internal electrical and mechanical works can take place. We will be working from 8am to 2pm on Saturday and Sunday. This work has been approved by Manchester City Council.
Our team will ensure any distribution to our neighbours is kept to a minimum.
Wilmslow Road redevelopment to form replacement advanced scanning and imaging facility
Planning permission was granted by Manchester City Council in December 2023. We will update further regarding the timeline for this project in due course.
Carbon and Energy Fund (CEF) Project
The Christie “CEF Project” is a refresh of the way in which the Trust produces enough power to run the site. The project will significantly reduce the Trust’s future energy costs and CO2 emissions and will act as the first stage of its journey to reduce the carbon footprint of The Christie in line with Manchester City Council’s commitment for Manchester to be carbon neutral by 2038.
The proposed works have been carefully developed to have a limited visual impact to the hospital site externally. The majority of the improvement works will be contained within the existing buildings and will have no visible impact to neighbouring properties.
The project will require a new chimney which will be 3 metres lower and significantly narrower than the existing brick chimney. The chimney would be the only visible change noticeable on the hospital site. The height and proximity of the existing hospital buildings and large tree cover in surrounding the site will limit any visual impact.
The Trust will be applying for Planning Permission from Manchester City Council for the works.
The CEF Energy Project will introduce a range of energy conservation measures (ECMs) which will be deployed across The Christie hospital site. These ECMs will reduce the thermal consumption of the hospital estate by 15% and the electrical consumption by 16% resulting in an initial reduction in carbon emissions of 1,356 tonnes per annum.
