Multi-storey Car Park
The multi-storey car park gave us us the space we need to expand our clinical facilities on site.
It was funded through our DCH Estates Partnership with Prime and not by the NHS. Therefore, money and resources are not being taken away from patient care.
The 650-space car park includes 12 electric charging points, with the potential for more to be added in the future. We are also improving disabled parking across the hospital site.
Biodiversity
Bee blocks were built into the gabion walls and native shrub planting, a wildflower lawn and bird boxes were included as part of the project. The south and east elevations of the car park include climbing plants of various species to add to the project's biodiversity.
Multi-storey car park artwork
Local people were invited to choose the images which will be used as artwork on the sides of our new multi-storey car park. The metal facades feature images of local landscapes and landmarks, a theme chosen by hospital staff to illustrate the hospital's catchment area.
The top three choices were photos of Portland Bill, Durdle Door and Corfe Castle which have been used to create images on perforated metal panels to cover elevations of the multi-storey car park.
