BLOCK 9 EXT.

Scope of WorkThe site includes the area immediately south of Block 8, currently

comprising Block 9, 9 Extension and Prideaux buildings. Block 9 and

9 Extension have fallen into dis-repair and are uninhabitable. There is

an urgent need to restore these buildings and secure a long-term use

to preserve these heritage assets.

The site is a special location, with views and close proximities to

London’s cultural landmarks and institutions, the site requires

a measured response to the sensitive setting. As the last major

development opportunity for the hospital site, there is a need to

optimise the footprint within the site available.
