We have recently completed the major refurbishment of the Maple Ward, a mental health facility at the Longley Centre in Sheffield.
The £3million project creates a safer and more supportive space for staff and patients after the refurbishment of the mental health unit.
The project has seen the facility’s layout redesigned to create 17 en-suite bedrooms, an accessible bedroom, calming de-escalation facilities, and a state of the art landscaped garden courtyard.
The team has also installed new supplementary drainage, and new windows and doors, in addition to new mechanical and electrical systems throughout.
Patient safety was a key focus of the renovations, with several essential spaces created, or upgraded, as part of the project, including a quiet space, dining room, staff rest area, lounge, clinic room and dispensary.
Maple Ward provides important assessment and treatment for individuals experiencing a diverse range of emergency mental health needs.
We are pleased to see this important facility reach completion. The project has been about much more than construction – it’s about creating a safe, therapeutic environment that truly supports recovery and wellbeing. From the redesigned ward layout to the landscaped courtyard, every detail was carefully considered to enhance the experience for both patients and staff. We’re proud to deliver a space for Sheffield Health Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust that will make a meaningful difference people’s lives.
Ryan O'Loughlin, Regional DirectorProjects like this are complex and sensitive, and it is testament to the skill and professionalism of everybody involved that we have reached this milestone so successfully. We are looking forward to opening the new ward by the end of this year, providing a space which is better, safer and more dignified for our service users.

The project was secured via the Procure Partnerships Framework. As part of this, we have delivered key social value outputs through the utilisation of a local supply chain and on-site construction training initiatives.
The refurbishment has been delivered to the targeted autumn completion, ahead Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust reopening the facility.
