Summary
National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB), a government-run pediatric hospital is undertaking the construction of New National Children’s Hospital project in Leinster, Ireland.

The project involves the construction of a seven-story, new children’s hospital and a maternity facility on 6.3ha of land. The project is to be implemented in phases.

The project includes the construction of 6,150 rooms, 1.6ha of gardens and external space, 380 individual inpatient rooms. All inpatient rooms will be single rooms, with an en-suite and a specific facility for overnight in-room accommodation for parents and 470 beds for patients, as well as a 53-bed space for family accommodation.

It further includes the construction of an emergency department, advanced diagnostics and 18 operating theaters, play areas, gardens, courtyards, a therapy facility, a hydro pool, a gym, parking facilities and other infrastructure-related facilities.

The hospital will be served by two satellite centers, one on the campus of Tallaght Hospital on the south side of Dublin and the other on Connolly Hospital on the north side of Dublin.

In November 2013, a tender was issued for the design contract for the project.

In March 2014, six design teams were shortlisted. They are IBI Nightingale and RKD Architects (IBI + RKD); BDP and O’Connell Mahon Architects; Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP) with John Cooper Architecture and Henry J. Lyons; HOK with Stanley Beaman & Sears (SBS), CCH Architects, and Bucholz McEvoy; Scott Tallon Walker Architects and Shepley Bullfinch; and Stantec and Michael Collins Architects.

In September 2014, BDP and O'Connell Mahon were appointed as architects.

In November 2014, HLM in collaboration with Coady Partnership Architects was appointed to design two satellite Children’s Centres at Tallaght and Connolly Hospitals.

In July 2015, plans were rejected due to the scale of the project. A fresh planning application was submitted in August 2015, following final consultations with stakeholders.

On September 26, 2015, NPHDB issued a tender for mechanical engineering installation works of the project with the submission deadline on November 10, 2015.
