Willmott Dixon has been appointed by developers noviniti to build a new £16.8m multi-storey car park at Royal Derby Hospital to provide an additional 500 spaces.
The car park will be spread over five storeys and replace the current surface level car park. Completion is expected in summer 2025 and it will be open to visitors and patients to help resolve parking and congestion problems on the site.
Ahead of main works starting on the new car park, Willmott Dixon has also created a temporary car park on a site near the hospital with a park-and-ride system in operation.
Nick Heath, director at Willmott Dixon, said: “We’re pleased to be delivering this infrastructure improvement at Royal Derby Hospital for University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust.
“We look forward to delivering a project that will help to improve visitor and patient experience when visiting the hospital by significantly increasing parking provision. It will also provide additional facilities, including electric vehicle charging points.”
Jonathan Houlston, CEO at noviniti, said: “It is a great pleasure for noviniti to have been appointed as developer by United Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust to deliver the new 5-storey Multi-Storey Car Park at Royal Derby Hospital.
“Working in partnership with Willmott Dixon, this much needed facility will greatly ease on-site traffic congestion and positively contribute to the patient and visitor experience.”
