The new £19.5 million St Catherine’s Hospice at Pease Pottage has been officially handed over to the charity, marking the end of its construction. After 90 weeks, the completion of the state-of-the-art hospice will see Barnes Construction handing a ceremonial key to St Catherine’s to symbolise the end of the build and the start of
a new home for the much-loved charity, that provides palliative and end of life care throughout West Sussex and East Surrey. Designed by Building Ideas and LSI Architects, and built by Barnes Construction, the new hospice is 41,000 sq ft - one and a half times the size of St Catherine’s current site on Malthouse
Road in Crawley. We speak to St Catherine's chief executive Giles Tomsett, People and Site Services director Elly Powis and outpatient Bill McClusker about the new building.
