The Birmingham Centre for Anatomy, Surgical & Clinical Skills (BCASCS) is part of the Birmingham Health Innovation Campus for the University of Birmingham鈥檚 College of Medicine and Health.
It is being developed by the University of Birmingham and in partnership with Bruntwood SciTech, which specialises in property for the science and tech sector.
With Galliford Try as main contractor, the 拢21m project will see the fit-out of two and a half floors within a newly-built seven-storey building, providing teaching facilities that replicate real-world medical environments. Specialist areas will include mock hospital wards, a simulated operating theatre, consulting spaces, a mortuary, an embalming room, and immersive learning zones with virtual reality, simulated patients and home-care scenarios.
The 拢210m building itself was built by John Sisk & Son and opened last year.
This project forms part of a wider masterplan comprising six phases over the next decade, ultimately delivering 657,000 sq ft of life sciences space for the campus.
