Mansell To Build Maggie's North East |
|
Mansell has won a £1.6 million contract to construct a new Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre in the grounds of the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Maggie's North East will care for anyone affected by cancer and will lie within the North of England Cancer Network – covering a population of approximately 2.1 million people. The region encompasses an area that runs from the east coast across to Cumbria and down to the River Tees.

Designed by Edward Cullinan Architects, the building will partly enclose a courtyard and offer two wings of accommodation.
A central library will incorporate stairs up to a mezzanine level, covered by an angled curved roof covered in photovoltaic panels. The mezzanine will lead out onto a flat landscaped roof, screened by planting.
Vibrant landscaping will surround the centre which is expected to achieve a BREEAM "Excellent" rating.
Work starts on site in June 2012 and is expected to complete early in 2013.
