The Cripps Foundation, founded by Sir Humphrey Cripps donated £9 million to finance the rebuilding of the centre. The previous, smaller, building opened in 1969 [1] and had 6,000 students and staff registered. [2]

Overview

The centre was designed by CPMG Architects [3] and Arup Group with not only clinical consulting rooms, minor operations suites and a patient observation bay, but physiotherapy areas, and a dental treatment surgery, pharmacy and space for the university mental health advisory service as well as the usual training rooms and offices. There are medicinal and aromatherapy plants in a courtyard garden. [4]

The centre provided a free sexual health service until March 2018 when funding for it was withdrawn. [5] Nottingham City Council said it was "additional and complementary to core provision." [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hospital</span> Health care facility with specialized staff and equipment

A hospital is a healthcare institution providing patient treatment with specialized health science and auxiliary healthcare staff and medical equipment. The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which typically has an emergency department to treat urgent health problems ranging from fire and accident victims to a sudden illness. A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region, with many beds for intensive care and additional beds for patients who need long-term care. Specialized hospitals include trauma centers, rehabilitation hospitals, children's hospitals, seniors' (geriatric) hospitals, and hospitals for dealing with specific medical needs such as psychiatric treatment and certain disease categories. Specialized hospitals can help reduce health care costs compared to general hospitals. Hospitals are classified as general, specialty, or government depending on the sources of income received.
