Project Overview
Creating Modern Antenatal & Postnatal Facilities
Barnsley Hospital required the conversion of an existing ward into a dedicated postnatal and antenatal inpatient facility capable of supporting mothers, families and healthcare professionals within a modern clinical environment.
Situated directly above an operational neonatal unit, the project demanded exceptional coordination, careful planning and close collaboration with hospital teams to ensure construction activities could proceed safely while maintaining essential healthcare services.

Scope of Works
Hospital Ward Conversion & Clinical Environment Improvements
The project involved the transformation of an existing hospital ward into a dedicated maternity-focused inpatient facility designed to support both antenatal and postnatal care. The facility provides a modern healthcare environment tailored to the operational requirements of maternity care services.
Project Delivery
Managing Complex Logistics Within An Acute Hospital Environment
A major challenge of this project was its location within an active hospital tower block directly above a functioning neonatal unit.
Maintaining access, safeguarding patients and ensuring construction activities did not interfere with blue-light operations required continual communication between teams, hospital staff and project stakeholders.
Additional programme management challenges arose through evolving clinical requirements, design changes requested by healthcare teams and wider supply chain pressures. Through proactive planning and ongoing programme reviews, Jarvale successfully adapted delivery strategies while maintaining progress towards the completion date.
