Birmingham Dental Hospital is a dental facility in Mill Pool Way, Birmingham, West Midlands, England. The hospital is managed by the Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. [1]
The facility was originally established at Odd Fellows Hall on Temple Street as the Birmingham Dental Dispensary in January 1858. [2]
It moved to 2 Upper Priory in 1863 and to 9 Broad Street in 1871 and, after being formally constituted as the Birmingham Dental Hospital in 1880, [2] it relocated to 71 Newhall Street in 1882. [3] It moved again, this time to 132 Great Charles Street in 1905 and then re-located to purpose-built facilities, designed by S. N. Cooke & Partners, [4] in St Mary's Row (later known as St Chad's Queensway) in 1966. [5]
After the old St Mary's Row facility became decrepit, planning consent for a new facility to be located on the site of the former Pebble Mill Studios was obtained in November 2012. [6] The new facility was procured under a private finance initiative contract in 2013 and was designed by One Create Environments. [7]
It was built by Galliford Try at a cost of £34 million [7] and was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in November 2015. [8] Patients were first admitted in March 2016. [9]
