Benenden Hospital

Benenden Hospital

Benenden Hospital in Cranbrook, Kent, is a flagship independent hospital that provides healthcare to thousands of people each year. But after more than a century it required new and updated facilities to meet society’s changing healthcare needs.

Project Overview:

• Client: Willmott Dixon

• Scope of Works: Groundworks and Landscaping

• Value: £2.1m

• Project Start Date: May 2014

• Location: Cranbrook, Kent

The £54 million flagship redevelopment in two phases was designed by architects CA Vaughan Blundell to future-proof the healthcare facility for decades, with a priority being to bring together all the clinical services within one building and to address identified shortcomings such as privacy and dignity. As an example all in-patients are now treated in single en-suite bedrooms.
