## Resource

St Mary’s Hospital, London’s historic medical powerhouse where penicillin was discovered, is set for a dramatic transformation after decades of neglect exposed dangerous concrete flaws and crumbling infrastructure. Facing the urgent need for modernization, Imperial College Healthcare Trust unveils plans for a sleek, 30-story, 800-bed hospital — a bold, faster-than-usual rebuild aiming to open by 2035. This ambitious project, funded by the government’s New Hospital Programme, seeks to replace outdated facilities with a future-ready facility — and is now inviting patients, staff, and locals to shape the design before official planning begins next spring.
