Located in Taunton, Musgrove Park Hospital has been an integral part of the community since World War II. As a crucial element of the Musgrove 2030 plan, the hospital is undergoing a comprehensive transformation to enhance its services.

Challenge

Renovate archaic resources into high-end facilities 

To create a state-of-the-art surgical centre replacing facilities dating as early as 1940. 

Solution

Designed for well-being and comfort

Initially established as a temporary casualty evacuation hospital for the D-Day landings, Musgrove Park evolved over the years with additional buildings constructed in the 1940s.

The forthcoming state-of-the-art surgical centre is poised to replace the current hospital theatres and critical care unit, both of which were originally built during World War II as part of the temporary casualty evacuation hospital for the D-Day landings. This new facility will not only serve as a replacement but will also house a contemporary endoscopy suite.

Calcinotto provided and structural engineering consultancy services for this development.

Featuring eight operating theatres, including two advanced hybrid operating theatres designed for both surgical procedures and interventional radiology, the centre will provide advanced medical capabilities. The facility will also incorporate six endoscopy rooms, specialized areas for patient recovery and clinical support, and a critical care unit equipped with 22 beds tailored for level 2 and 3 critical care patients.
