The Louisa Martindale Building - Opening in April 2023 - University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust

Countdown until we open!

Standing at the front of the main hospital site, the Louisa Martindale Building will offer state of the art accommodation for outpatient, ward and specialist services across its 11 floors. It is the first stage of the 3Ts Redevelopment of the hospital.

The Louisa Martindale Building is the newest clinical building in NHS England. Alongside it is the Barry Building, the oldest.

Moving services into the new facility will empty the Barry Building and those around it. Patients will go from a building that opened in 1828 to one opening in April 2023, 195 years in a single journey.

Four bed bay in the Louisa Martindale Building

Wards will be in the upper half of the new building and patients will have some stunning sea views.

Many of the wards moving in will have five times as much space per bed.

Outpatient services in the building will be in spacious, purpose designed departments in the lower half of the building.

They will be closer to the building’s main entrance and the underground car park that is for patients and visitors only.
