Work began on the £111m complex, now officially known as The Matthew Hay Building, in July 2009. The building was completed on time and on budget, with patients being received into the facility from December 2012 onwards.
The centre offers a streamlined emergency service, with minor injury clinic and G-Med out-of-hours service based there. The Matthew Hay Building is also home to cardiology, oncology, haematology, medical specialties, renal medicine, respiratory medicine, digestive disorders, geriatric assessment and the medical high dependency unit.
The new building features:
- 10 floors containing more than 1,450 rooms.

“… I have never worked on a building project that has been as successful as the one involving Robertson Construction and ourselves…”
