Drone footage showcases the ongoing development of the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC), which is set to open near Loughborough in summer 2025.
- The NRC is estimated at £105m and aims to revolutionise rehabilitation in the UK.
- Integrating NHS care with university innovations, the centre stands as a collaboration between leading institutions.
- Footage reveals completed external structures and ongoing internal constructions.
- The NRC, alongside a defence facility, is expected to elevate rehabilitation standards globally.
The recent drone footage offers a glimpse into the significant strides being made towards the completion of the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC), a project valued at £105 million. Scheduled to open in the summer of 2025 near Loughborough, the centre is expected to transform the landscape of rehabilitation treatment across the United Kingdom.
This 70-bed, purpose-built facility is being constructed by Integrated Health Projects (IHP), a notable joint venture between Vinci Building and Sir Robert McAlpine. Located on the Stanford Hall Rehabilitation Estate, the NRC is positioned strategically alongside the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, which has been operational since 2018. These two centres of excellence are poised to collaborate and enhance rehabilitation standards both at a national and international level.
The civil rehabilitation centre uniquely blends National Health Service (NHS) care with cutting-edge research and innovation from two esteemed institutions – the University of Nottingham and Loughborough University. This synergetic approach is expected to foster advancements in medical rehabilitation, offering patients access to pioneering therapies and treatments.
Visual progress, as captured by drone footage, highlights the installation of black cladding and windows, marking a significant advancement in the exterior construction. Internally, the footage shows the intricate threading of utilities like cables and pipes through corridors and rooms. Lightweight steel frame partitions delineate future internal wall placements, providing an early sight of the building’s layout.
Five primary pavilions shape the ground floor of this expansive centre: dedicated facilities for management, a staff and café area, innovation and education, a patient zone, comprehensive research and innovation spaces, and critical areas for gym, therapy, and treatment. Such arrangements underscore the NRC’s commitment to holistic and integrated rehabilitation solutions.
The National Rehabilitation Centre’s development is a promising step towards advancing rehabilitation standards globally.
