Midland Metropolitan Hospital is a new acute general hospital being built on a 16-acre site in Grove Lane at Smethwick near Birmingham. The Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust was granted a compulsory purchase order to buy the land at Grove Lane, which had previously been used for industrial purposes by GKN, in January 2011. The hospital was designed by a team led by HKS and is being built by Carillion who will also provide hard facilities management and life-cycle maintenance services. The new hospital will have 670 beds and 15 operating theatre suites. The total capital cost is £297 million of which £100 million will be provided by HM Treasury and the remainder will be privately financed. Work on site started in January 2016 and construction is due to be completed in 2019.
