Deconstruction of the Frontage Building starting
14 Feb 2025, 9 a.m.
We are pleased to announce that deconstruction of the Frontage Building will start on Monday 17 February.
This is a major step forward and means we are nearer to realising our ambition to provide a new home for cancer services, as well as more space for our school, imaging, critical care and theatre services and an amazing new entrance for the whole hospital.
The deconstruction process will be managed carefully by our contractor Sisk and the works will be overseen by the GOSH CCC team.
Information for visitors to GOSH
While it is exciting that we are developing this amazing new facility, we know that this activity may make things feel different for visitors to the hospital.
From your ward window you may be able to see the deconstruction site and works on site. There may be noise at times, but please note there are quiet periods during the day when the sound limits are lower.
These times are:
- 7am - 8am
- 12pm - 1pm
- 5pm - 6pm.
There are maximum limits at all times and no work takes place after 6pm Monday-Friday, or after 1pm on Saturdays.
Please talk to your ward team if the work is disturbing you or you have any concerns.
Thank you for bearing with us as we develop the new building. Contact us if you have any questions or concerns:
