Capital Projects and Modernisation Programme

What is the Capital Projects and Modernisation Programme?

Along with our partners, we are investing £186 million in a modernisation programme to improve our mental health services and facilities for local people.

Two new buildings on our Maudsley Hospital Campus, New Douglas Bennett House and the Pears Maudsley Centre for Children and Young People, will provide state-of-the-art facilities for our service users and our staff. These buildings will be replacing Lambeth Hospital on Landor Road, as well as three old buildings along De Crespigny Park road in Denmark Hill.

Pears Maudsley Centre

The Pears Maudsley Centre for Children & Young People

The centre will provide high-quality mental health services and facilities including inpatient, outpatient and crisis care. It will also bring together the Trust's CAMHS specialists and researchers from Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) to work together to develop new ways of addressing the mental health and wellbeing challenges facing children and young people today.

De Crespigny Park Redevelopment

De Crespigny Park

There is an urgent need to redevelop our hospital facilities, as many of our buildings are old, in poor condition and not fit for purpose. The aim of this redevelopment is to reinvest back into our current and future hospital and community facilities while creating much needed new homes, for local people in Southwark.
