Hybrid Theatre 13 Beaumont Hospital
- Location: Dublin
- Client: Beaumont Hospital
- Project Completion: 2024
Project Information
P McVey Building Systems designed and built a state-of-the-art hybrid theatre for Beaumont Hospital. The project delivered an innovative healthcare environment while limiting disruption to 12 existing theatres and recovery wards. The facility has 12 modular units covering 3,650 sq ft. The ground floor contains scrub, anaesthetic, and theatre spaces. The first floor houses the plant room. Installation took 15 hours due to high ceilings, bespoke continental haulage vehicles, and tight urban streets. Workers delivered the modules through a busy city area and lifted them over the hospital. The central courtyard location added extra challenges.
Close work with Siemens and Bender UK ensured smooth integration of all theatre equipment. This approach created one of Beaumont Hospital’s first fully functioning hybrid theatres. Offsite modular construction allowed the team to build all 12 units in a controlled factory environment. This method improved quality, reduced waste, and minimised on-site disruption, lowering the hospital’s carbon footprint.
Offsite Solution
The project used advanced construction techniques, including 60-minute fire-rated timber walls, rapid-response liquid screed floors, and self-contained air handling and ventilation systems. The team lifted all modules into place in one day over a live hospital environment. This allowed the hybrid theatre to start operating immediately. This project shows the efficiency, environmental benefits, and operational advantages of modular construction in complex healthcare settings. Modular methods work especially well in urban hospitals where speed, precision, and minimal disruption are essential. By combining careful planning, innovative techniques, and close collaboration, P McVey delivered a high-quality facility that supports modern surgical practices while reducing the impact on hospital operations.
