Dean Clough flexes to health services
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust has agreed a 15-year lease on 13,000 sq ft at the mixed-use converted mill complex in Halifax.
Cushman & Wakefield, Savills, and Walker Singleton handle lettings at Dean Clough, which is located on the edge of the town centre.
The Trust will use the space for outpatient services and office accommodation, taking 5,700 sq ft on the ground floor and 7,500 sq ft on the fourth floor of the recently renovated Bowling Mill, which is one of 16 stone Victorian mill buildings.
A fit-out on the space was carried out by Ben Johnson Interiors.
Relocating from Beechwood Medical Centre and Calderdale Royal Hospital, outpatient services will include the Amputee, Bladder and Bowel, Lymphoedema, and Podiatry clinics, as well as Community Therapies, Urgent Community Response, and District Nursing Hubs.
Dean Clough is located between Leeds and Manchester, a 15 minute drive from the M62.
Jenny Clark, director of operations for community services at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Bowling Mill provides us with a fantastic environment to better support the needs of our patients with purpose-designed spaces for therapies, at the heart of the Halifax community.
“The refurbishment makes the most out of the original Victorian mill building features and natural light, which can boost mood, and improve the wellbeing and experience of patients, and colleagues.”
Jeremy Hall, chairman and managing director at Dean Clough, said: “The mills reflect our community’s history, embodying the qualities of sustainability and longevity.
“The establishment of the NHS here reinforces the connection and relevance of the mills, whilst adding to the wonderful community at Dean Clough…
“Through the ongoing investment to regenerate these magnificent mills to create characterful, efficient workspaces for the 21st century, we maintain a best practice approach to their reuse, supporting important ESG values with the indisputable carbon benefits of repurposing buildings.”
