Midland Metropolitan Hospital is a new acute general hospital being built on a 16-acre site in Grove Lane at Smethwick near Birmingham.

History

The Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust was granted a compulsory purchase order to buy the land at Grove Lane for the hospital in January 2011.[1] The hospital was designed by a team led by HKS[2] and is being built by Carillion who will also provide hard facilities management and life-cycle maintenance services.[3] The new hospital will have 670 beds and 15 operating theatre suites.[4] The total capital cost is £297 million[3] of which £100 million will be provided by HM Treasury and the remainder will be privately financed.[5] Work on site started in January 2016 and construction is due to be completed in October 2018.[4]
