Sunil Vyas, the Trust’s director of Projects & Estates, said: “The appointment of the design team for the expansion and upgrade of our cancer research and treatment facility marks a major step forward in the hospital’s plans to continue to be at the forefront of cutting-edge research advances to patients. We need to grow and modernise to meet the increasing demand for our services, and still have the space to conduct our practice-changing research while improving every part of the cancer experience for patients across the UK and around the world. We look forward to working with Turner & Townsend and all other partners who will help bring this vision to life.”
Graham Dodd, associate director at Turner & Townsend, said: “We are delighted to have been appointed to deliver this prestigious project on behalf of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. The facility will be delivered on a constrained central London site, and we believe that our combined offering, including construction logistics, will provide added value to the Trust in the delivery of this significant project.”
