Ipswich-based Barnes Construction has completed work on a new Clinical Decisions Unit alongside the Accident and Emergency Department at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds.
The £500,000 extension, which was designed by KLH Architects, from Sproughton, near Ipswich, is due to become fully operational in the New Year.
The completion of the contract brings the value of work carried out by Barnes at the hospital this year to around £3.5million, also including a part-refurbishment of the A&E Department and a £1.5m re-roofing project.
The re-roofing schem involved two phases of work where existing roof coverings were replaced and new insulation, fascia boards, parapets and rainwater goods were installed.
A third phase of this project is due to commence on site during 2015 with further phases to follow over the coming years.

Nick Fayers, managing director of Barnes Construction, said: “We have worked on a number of construction schemes at West Suffolk Hospital over the years.
