The 48,000 sq m Paddington Hub scheme, designed by HOK and promoted by Bartlet Asset Management, is proposed for the former Imperial College Medical School site in Westminster.
The building is designed to house more than 1,800 clinicians, researchers and support staff, bringing together clinical trials, diagnostics and emerging health technologies in a single, purpose-built facility.
HOK said the design draws on experience from the Francis Crick Institute in King’s Cross and is intended to support a bench-to-bedside model by co-locating patients and researchers.
Ground-floor spaces are planned for education, community uses and improved pedestrian links between Praed Street, Norfolk Place and the wider hospital estate.
Subject to planning consent, work is expected to start on site in 2027.
