The New Replacement Mental Health Facility for St. Brendan's Hospital at Grangegorman has been handed over to the HSE by the Grangegorman Development Agency.
The new 54 bed purpose built mental health facility, named the 'Phoenix Care Centre' includes a Psychiatric Intensive Care Service. This state of the art facility will provide patients with their own single bedrooms and en-suite facilities, therapy and rehabilitation spaces, enhanced with courtyard settings and a light filled environment to maximise the recovery journey for patients.
The completion of this building marks a significant milestone as it is the first major building project to be completed as part of the overall Grangegorman re-development project. The full cost of the unit to date is running at €21m.
Anne O'Connor, Area Manager, HSE Dublin North City said: "I am delighted to accept this landmark building on behalf of the HSE. This uniquely designed mental health facility will provide a safe, secure and therapeutic environment for patients to receive the care they require in a modern environment. The completion of this facility will enable the HSE to improve access for patients to very high quality facilities and services."
Michael Hand, Grangegorman Development Agency Chief Executive Officer said: "I am delighted with the high quality of design and construction of the Phoenix Care Centre and I would like to pay tribute to the close collaboration between the HSE and GDA teams together with our design team and contractors. This building sets the standard for the entire Grangegorman development which will be rolled out over the coming years."
