More parking spaces set to arrive at Derby hospital

Willmott Dixon has been appointed by developers noviniti to build a new £16.8M multi-storey car park at Royal Derby Hospital to provide an additional 500 spaces.

Spread over five storeys, the new facility will replace the current surface level car park.

Ahead of main works starting on the new car park, Willmott Dixon has also created a temporary car park on a site near the hospital with a park-and-ride system in operation.

Willmott Dixon Director Nick Heath, said: “We’re pleased to be delivering this infrastructure improvement at Royal Derby Hospital for University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust.

“We look forward to delivering a project that will help to improve visitor and patient experience when visiting the hospital by significantly increasing parking provision. It will also provide additional facilities, including electric vehicle charging points.”

Jonathan Houlston, CEO at noviniti, said: “Working in partnership with Willmott Dixon, this much-needed facility will greatly ease onsite traffic congestion and positively contribute to the patient and visitor experience.”

Completion is set for summer 2025.
