New Velindre Cancer Centre MIM Project
United Kingdom
Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) - A Paradigm Shift in Sustainable HealthcareIt was fantastic to achieve Financial Close (FC) on this exemplary hospital, and we are now seeing the building take shape during the construction period. The project represents a paradigm shift in sustainable healthcare, providing cutting-edge facilities and treatment in a building designed with sustainable material innovation, community inclusion, and a commitment to preserving the environment.
Key Highlights:
Welsh Government Pilot Projects: The new Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) is one of three Welsh Government pilot projects and the first hospital to use the new Mutual Investment Model (MIM). This model includes a 15% public sector stake in the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) and a significant community benefits package mandated through procurement.
Zero Carbon Commitment: The nVCC is the first major Welsh investment to target the government’s zero-carbon goals and will be the first all-electric UK hospital.
Smart Design and Digital Twin Technology: The hospital has been designed based on ‘smart’ principles and will be the first Public-Private Partnership (PPP) to employ a comprehensive digital twin to assist with the Facilities Management (FM) and clinical operations of the Centre.
High-Tech and Welcoming Environment: The hospital integrates the best practices from leading projects to combine state-of-the-art cancer diagnostics with a welcoming and supportive environment for cancer patients and their families.
