LST Projects successfully delivered complex refurbishment works across two vital areas of Southampton General Hospital: the Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Both schemes were completed under challenging conditions within live hospital environments, requiring careful planning, constant communication, and strict adherence to infection control procedures.
Given the sensitive nature of these departments, high levels of engagement with medical and clinical teams were essential. Our team worked closely with PICU staff to understand their specific operational needs and tailored the programme accordingly — ensuring noise levels were kept to a minimum, updates were communicated regularly, and all work aligned with clinical schedules and quiet periods.
NICU Refurbishment
LST Projects delivered a full refurbishment of the Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Southampton General Hospital, enhancing both functionality and clinical performance. Works included the removal of nurses’ stations, ceiling-mounted pendants, and surface finishes, followed by new flooring, ceilings, protective wall cladding, and upgraded services from the plant room above. Ceiling-mounted pendants were reinstalled to meet clinical needs.
The result is a safer, more efficient environment for staff and patients. Delivered for University Hospital Southampton and designed by Kendall Kingscott, the £1.7 million scheme was completed between June and October 2022.

PICU Refurbishment
The PICU project focused on increasing capacity and enhancing patient care through the creation of five new side rooms. Mirroring the scope of the NICU upgrade, the PICU refurbishment included new mechanical and electrical systems, surface finishes, and fittings. Notably, the new rooms were enclosed using hermetically sealed glazed partitions with motorised integral blinds — meeting the unit’s high standards for hygiene and privacy.
Prior to these works, our team completed a full strip-out in the adjacent Nuclear Medicine department, followed by the installation of new walls, equipment, and services, to support the expansion of the intensive care unit.
