Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital

In August 2007, Falcon Repair Services Ltd (now Falcon Structural Repairs Ltd) were awarded a contract to stabilise the listed section of the former Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital, situated at the busy junction of Euston Road and Churchway. 

The hospital, built in 1896 with finance from James Anderson, husband of committed feminist Elizabeth Anderson, had been dedicated to treating women. Over the years the hospital was extended and moved in to local authority ownership before being purchased by Unison, the health union, as part of their future £45 million expansion plans.

The original listed structure subsided approximately six years ago, with the majority of the movement occurring to the two storey bay fronting Churchway where dessication of the clay was recorded in excess of 4m. Falcon's brief was to temporarily stabilise the four storey building which had distorted by 200mm, salvage a number of listed features, carefully log and dismantle the bay including the carved brickwork panel at parapet level and construct a piled underpinning scheme under the heavy four storey walls.
