English: "Super hospital", University Hospital Birmingham. Five months or so after 781468 I found myself here on business again and couldn't resist a quick shot before my meeting. The shell of this monstrous building now appears largely complete and there's evidence of outfitting with visible air conditioning units and exhaust stacks visible from outside the compound. The original Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Medical School are just pre-WWII and after 70 years it's about time the QEH was replaced. It survived the ravages of "concrete cancer" in the early to mid-1980s when expensive repairs were undertaken and there was also extensive heating system replacement with new plant rooms and pipe shafts at about the same time.
