Midland Metropolitan University Hospital is an acute general hospital on Grove Lane in Smethwick, near Birmingham. The hospital was designed by HKS, Cagni Williams and Sonnemann Toon Architects. Its emergency department replaced those at Sandwell and City hospitals.
Already behind its original target completion date of October 2018, it was being built by Carillion. However, the company went into liquidation in January 2018, causing the PFI contract to be terminated. This, plus later materials and manpower shortages, delayed the hospital's completion further. The hospital opened to the public on 6 October 2024.
