Galliford Try Building East Midlands has won the Retrofit prize at the Constructing Excellence East Midlands awards for its work on the Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) at Florence Nightingale Community Hospital in Derby.
Delivered on behalf of the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Trust, the project was celebrated for its outstanding transformation of an existing space into a cutting-edge medical facility. The CDC now provides enhanced patient experiences and operational efficiencies, addressing the growing demand for accessible diagnostic services.
The upgraded centre designed by architect CPMG features a large reception area, three fixed Computed Tomography (CT) scanners, cutting-edge ultrasound, mammography equipment, X-ray equipment, MRI, along with services including phlebotomy, Point of Care (POC), dermoscopy and physiological measurement (echocardiography, cardiology and respiratory) tests.
In addition to the Retrofit award, the project was also shortlisted in the Integration and Collaborative Working category, recognising the effective teamwork and partnerships that underpinned its success. This recognition follows the earlier achievement of winning the Integration and Collaborative Working Award at the 2023 Constructing Excellence East Midlands Awards, in collaboration with the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Trust on the Derby Hybrid Theatre project.
Jon Marston, Managing Director for Galliford Try Building East Midlands, commented on the achievement: “We are absolutely delighted to win the Retrofit award for our work on the Community Diagnostic Centre in Derby. This recognition reflects the dedication of our teams and the power of true collaboration with our partners. It's a fantastic example of how we can deliver innovative healthcare environments that have a real and lasting impact on communities across the East Midlands.”
The Constructing Excellence Awards shine a spotlight on the achievements of industry professionals celebrating innovation and teamwork.
