Balfour Beatty has featured in Building Magazine exploring West Birmingham’s new super hospital, Midland Metropolitan University Hospital.

The in-depth article discusses how Balfour Beatty successfully overcame a number of challenges to complete the new nine-floor, state-of-the-art hospital building – the largest acute care hospital in the region, with over 700 beds for inpatients, 11 operating theatres, an A&E department, diagnostic suites and research and education departments.
