History

The hospital, which was designed by the Building Design Partnership^[1] and built by Laing O'Rourke^[2] at a cost of £350 million, opened on 17 November 2020.^[3] Facilities include 470 beds and a 24-hour emergency department and assessment unit.^[3]

Space for 384 beds was opened in April 2020, a year in advance of schedule, in case they were needed for the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales, enabled by the extensive adoption of offsite fabrication.^[4] The hospital opened in full on 17 November 2020.^[5]
