Cambridge Children's Hospital

When Cambridge Biomedical Campus achieved planning permission for a 215,000 sq m expansion, a proportion of the floorspace was dedicated for clinical use. After securing £100m in funding, a new children’s hospital is being developed on the site alongside Addenbrooke’s, the Rosie Hospital and Royal Papworth.

A fundraising campaign, with promotional video narrated by Stephen Fry, was launched to help raise another £100m to deliver this world-class facility inspired by children.

The process was collaborative with the planning authority to purposefully exceed several policy minimums and embrace the emerging planning priorities around climate, health and wellbeing, ecology and great places. Alongside this, a thorough engagement programme was carried out including important contributions from the children and their families.
