Supporting the delivery of a world-leading centre for eye care, research and education

We are pleased to announce our recent appointment as Independent Commissioning Verification Engineers for Project Oriel, the new integrated home for Moorfields Eye Hospital, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, and Moorfields Eye Charity. This landmark development in St Pancras will bring world-leading clinical services, research and education together under one roof, replacing the historic City Road site.

The project positions this world leading centre at the heart of London’s Knowledge Quarter, surrounded by major institutions such as the Francis Crick Institute, Great Ormond Street Hospital and University College London.

A Building Designed for Integrated Eye Health

The centre has been co-designed with clinicians, scientists, patients and staff to enhance clinical efficiency and accelerate scientific discovery. 

Key features include:

  • 14 state-of-the-art operating theatres
  • Standardised outpatient areas for flexible clinical pathways
  • A central patient support hub
  • Unified dry laboratories for experimental medicine and device development
  • Shared education environments
  • Staff welfare spaces including a roof terrace overlooking London

Our Role: Independent Commissioning Verification Engineers.

Banyards are providing independent commissioning verification to confirm that the building engineering services have been properly commissioned and are performing as intended.

Key features of our appointment will be:

  1. Protecting clinical and operational performance by ensuring the building engineering services support safe, reliable and efficient clinical delivery from day one.
  2. Improving programme certainty and reducing delivery risk through early issue identification, structured commissioning oversight and clear evidence of system performance.
  3. Supporting sustainability, energy efficiency and long-term value by confirming systems are set up to run efficiently, minimise carbon and reduce lifecycle operating costs.

Health Sector Expertise

Our team brings extensive experience across major NHS estates, including work on Great Ormond Street Hospital, Manchester Royal Infirmary, St Barts, The Christie, Luton & Dunstable, St George’s and Midland Metropolitan University Hospital and we are proud to support the creation of a world-leading centre where cutting-edge eye care and research can flourish.
