Refurbishment, external repair, & new-build extension to the 2^nd floor

This listed building built in 1875 is being substantially repaired and refurbished to provide a home for the Manchester based hub of the Health eResearch Centre for North England. This is being funded from the Medical Research Council and nine other Government and charity funders.

It will be one of four such Health Informatics research hubs in the UK and will make use of patient data sets available through NHS sources, undertake cutting edge research that links e-health records with other forms of research and routinely collected data, which will lead to patient and public benefit and ensuring the UK remains at the forefront of global medical research.
