Integrated Health Projects (IHP) has secured a contract worth about €131m to construct a new cancer research centre at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester, the UK.

IHP is a joint venture between VINCI Construction UK and construction firm Sir Robert McAlpine.

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, The University of Manchester and Cancer Research UK are providing funding for the new nine-storey facility.

IHP has already commenced early construction works of the new 27,000m2 BREEAM Very Good-certified building in August last year.

VINCI Construction stated: “They were carried out by IHP without any interruption to ongoing medical activity in other buildings, most particularly concerning the vibration-sensitive medical imaging centre.”

Slated to be completed in December 2022, the new research centre will be home for the UK’s largest team of doctors, scientists and healthcare staff.

The new eight-storey facility will be named as the Pears Maudsley Centre for Children and Young People’s Mental Health.

It will collaborate with clinical care and research experts from King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) to identify treatments for children, young people, and their families.
