Nottingham's former General Hospital site is being turned into an office space after sitting vacant for around five years. The historic Standard Court building, situated on Standard Hill, near Nottingham Castle, was once the home of Nottingham General Hospital until the site closed in 1992.
Services were transferred to the Queen's Medical Centre from the former hospital, which had a history dating back to September 1782. The building eventually became the headquarters of the Nottingham City Primary Care Trust, but it has been empty since 2018.
But now Cubo, a company which provides flexible office spaces, will be taking over the building to offer 50,000 sq ft of office accommodation. There will be 630 desks available across four floors, with features including a gym, spa and beer on tap for those using the space.
