What’s next and the opening
Moorfields’ Full Business Case will be reviewed
by HM Treasury for approval, with a decision
expected in the autumn. The appointment
of a building contractor will follow subject
to approvals. Construction starts in 2023
alongside community engagement, donor
events and an annual Oriel exhibition up
until the opening in 2026-2027.
This is a once-in-a-century opportunity to
implement radically new ways of working
which will change the experience for
researchers, staff, visitors and patients.
The integration of eye care, research and
education to create a shared space for
scientific discovery and patient treatment
will have a far-reaching impact.
We are delighted to be supporting Moorfields Eye Charity and partners Moorfields Eye
Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and UCL, which is helping to create a new facility, purposebuilt for the future, that will enable Moorfields to combine clinical care, education, and
research. This is a great opportunity to establish a world-leading centre for eye health,
harnessing new technologies to accelerate research breakthroughs, and transform the
patient experience. The facility is addressing a growing demand for eye care, and is helping
patients at Moorfields and throughout the world.
