Moving to new CSSB building

Colleagues begin CSSB move

The first stages of service moves to support the opening of the new Royal have started, as teams begin to move into the new purposebuilt Clinical Support Services Building (CSSB), adjacent to the new hospital.

It is anticipated that all teams will be in the new building by May 2022. The five-story building will be home to more than 500 staff, including Liverpool Clinical Labs (LCL), Pharmacy, IT, Facilities Management, Linen Store, Switchboard and a Plant Room that will service the new hospital. The facility will also receive all goods deliveries for LUHFT.

The move will be a complex challenge with more than 350 pieces of specialist equipment that need to be moved in partnership with third parties, ensuring the equipment is verified, validated and up and running in the shortest time possible to deliver continuity of service.

The Operational Readiness group is working with the divisions to develop team move plans. Regular staff engagement sessions are scheduled to give staff the opportunity to find out more and ask questions. Site visits have taken place to show colleagues the fantastic facilities and these will continue up to move-in day.
