A highly acclaimed new Renal Unit within a single, two and three storey steel-framed building, conceived as three linked blocks of differing design, but sharing similar external materials, has been constructed on a prominent site within the Ulster Hospital complex. It provides dialysis treatment for 40 patients in 5-bed dialysis bays and single dialysis rooms, and has a total floor area of approximately 2000 sq.m. It is connected by a new glazed link to the existing hospital.
