Midland Metropolitan Hospital, Hospital construction project in Smethwick, West Midlands, England
The Midland Metropolitan Hospital is a modern healthcare facility in Smethwick with hundreds of beds and multiple operating theatres serving various medical specialties. The building combines clinical areas with thoughtfully designed internal structures to support different medical departments and patient services.
Construction started in 2016 but faced major setbacks when the main contractor went into financial trouble in 2018. Government support helped reshape the project and get it back on track.
The hospital design incorporates public spaces, including a Winter Garden on level 5 that serves as a gathering area for community events.
Parking is integrated underground beneath the main clinical areas, with designated drop-off zones for different types of transport. Clear layout and color-coded sections help visitors navigate the building easily.
The design uses a geometric grid framework with different materials including terracotta, timber, and concrete combined with color coding for visual clarity. This system helps people find their way through the various levels and functional zones without confusion.
