The 400-bed Darent Valley Hospital, designed by Paulley Architects, opened in September 2000 and is the first major heathcare project in the UK to be built and operated under the Government's Private Finance Initiative.
Paulley Architects' masterplan for the 200 acre Darenth Park site also included a new 300 dwelling residential 'village', together with a 100 acre country park.
Early design concepts have been brought to fruition in record time within the health sector with the vision and integrity of the architectural design is demonstrated by the success of this landmark public building.
