The Mid Group: The Three Stages of the Brighton 3Ts Project

The Brighton 3Ts project, run by the Mid Group, was commissioned by Brighton & Sussex University Hospital Trust. This article will explore important details of the Brighton 3Ts project (which commenced in 2016), as well as how its new facilities will enable the Trust to better serve the local community.

The Three Stages of the 3T’s Project

The 3Ts Redevelopment Scheme was created to replace buildings at the Royal Sussex County Hospital. Divided into three stages, the project is expected to take nine years to complete, and the redevelopment will cost an estimated £485 million. The project has been cleverly designed so that the hospital will retain all of its functionality throughout the 9-year redevelopment, ensuring that all of its clinical services continue undisrupted.

Stage 1 of the 3Ts project – namely the construction of a brand-new building in the southeast quarter of the site – should be completed in summer 2020. This stage of the project also includes the addition of a helideck to the Thomas Kemp Tower, which will transform how seriously ill and injured patients are transferred to and from the hospital.

The second stage of the project focuses on the construction of new buildings in the site’s southwest quarter. Stage 2 is estimated to commence in summer 2020, with a completion date set for summer 2023 – and once completed, stages 1 and 2 will have replaced 13 of the structures that make up the Royal Sussex County Hospital.

Starting in 2023, Stage 3 will take just one year to complete. Focusing on improving conditions for patients and staff, the work undertaken in the third stage will benefit more than 40 departments and wards across the hospital.

 Brighton 3Ts and the Mid Group

The Brighton 3Ts project is being partly delivered by the Mid Group. Led by its CEO Sahel Majali, the Mid Group will utilise three separate companies to successfully deliver the project.

Mid Contracting will manage the 3Ts project, offering support and general assistance to the Trust.

Mid Consulting helped in the project’s design development phases, collaborating with the Local Authority to complete the project within the schedule and budget.

Sterling BIM has provided a full BIM model for the 3Ts project. Sterling BIM also developed an augmented reality app for the project and designed virtual reality experiences for a number of hospital user groups.
