Healthcare construction specialist Yorkon has handed over an ?11 million treatment centre a week ahead of schedule. The contract involved a 3300m rainscreen-clad modular building at St Mary's Hospital in Portsmouth. The two-storey scheme was manufactured off-site in York using the company's steel-framed modular building system which reduced the programme time to 42 weeks. 72 modules were craned into position in ten days, providing a watertight envelope. The building features a bespoke envelope of cedar cladding at the ground floor level. Horizontal bands of windows, white rendering and light grey ceramic granite provide aesthetics at either end of the building.
