Balfour Beatty’s Midland Metropolitan University Hospital has been given the green light to open on 6 October, six years behind its original completion target.
The contractor took over the project in 2019 after Carillion's collapse the previous year, which was already behind schedule.
The nine-floor state-of-the-art megastructure has a gross internal floor area of 85,924 sq m and can hold around 700 beds.
Once open, it will serve more than half a million people with facilities for acute and emergency care (the largest acute hospital in the region) as well as paediatric, maternity and inpatient adult care.
