At The Baird Family Hospital, three 1100 kVA synchronised generators, 16,000 litre structural base tanks, and supporting infrastructure, will be installed at the site, which replaces the existing Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, and encompasses a number of additional services, including breast screening, breast surgery, and gynaecology services.
The purpose-built ANCHOR Centre will provide new accommodation for oncology and haematology outpatient and day patient services to be co-located, and will be supported by a 500 kVA generator and structural base tank with 12,000 litre fuel storage.

The ANCHOR Centre is scheduled to open in 2023, followed by The Baird Family Hospital which in 2024.
