We have been aware of Metnor’s activity within this and related sectors for a number of years as they have developed a national profile and positive reputation for team-working towards a successful project outcome.”Tom Wilson, Director of Development and Facilities
Cygnet Hospital Maidstone is located on a two acre plot at the proposed Kent Medical Campus on Bearsted Road, Maidstone and will provide 65 beds across four separate services. There will be generous facilities for therapeutic and recreational activities, training and administration. In total, the proposed building will provide an average of 86 square metres of total floor space per service user, the highest of any Cygnet development so far.
“We are delighted that we have started the build of our second hospital in Kent. We will continue to work in close collaboration with our NHS partners in the region to refine the service model of the hospital with the focus of delivering the best outcomes for service users from Kent and the south-east region.”Lee Hammon, Commercial Director
