Re: Re: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ?
Health Care
Following a recent intense building boom in the cities Hotel sector it would now seem that it’s the (Public-Private) Health Care sector’s turn?
University:
After completing the Health Sciences Building for it’s nursing students, plans for a Graduate Entry Medical School are awaiting departmental approval.
Regional Hospital:
A multi-million euro package has been approved for phase one of a major development programme in 5B (acute psychiatric unit), the acute high observation unit of the Mid-Western Regional Hospital.
What ever became of the plans for a private hospital in the grounds of the Mid-Western Regional Hospital by the Bons Secours Hospital group some years ago?
Beacon is examining private ventures on sites adjoining Limerick Regional Hospital.
Joseph’s Hospital:
With the closing down of this hospital, one wonders what will happen to the cut-stone building (four wings) and it’s substantial grounds. There was once talk of relocating all of the Health Board’s administrative staff to Mulgrave street.
Barringtons Hospital and Medical Centre:
This privately-funded hospital has a building expansion in progress on Mary Street.
Adare Manor:
Plans for a new 100-bed private hospital in the grounds of Adare Manor.
Blackberry Medical Facility:
http://www.blackberrymedicalfacility.ie/
The Blackberry Medical Facility is one of the first custom built private hospitals in Ireland and is a first for Limerick. The concept is based on a well tried and tested formula introduced in the United States in the 1970s. The developers have carried out extensive research in this particular area of private healthcare and the Blackberry Medical Facility is the result of this research.
The Facility will have 95 Hospital beds, 6 operating theatres, with state of the art radiotherapy and physiotherapy centres and 14 recovery units. The Blackberry Medical Facility has three tier underground parking for the convenience of clients and visitors. This purpose built facility, finished to the highest specification, provides step down, long stay and intensive nursing care. The six theatres will be utilised for both major and minor procedures.
Blackberry Business Park
A Medical facility in a Business park, is a strange combination, guess it’s the practical American way of doing things?
Three tier underground parking must be a new record in underground parking for the city?
How advanced is the construction work to date?
