Edinburgh's £150M Royal Hospital for Children and Young People, designed by HLM Architects and built by Brookfield Multiplex, opened to patients after ventilation and drainage faults forced repeated delays.

- Construction began in February 2015 under the non-profit distributing model; an August 2016 delay was blamed on weather and two of the builders entering administration[3]
- The emergency department was due to move on 9 July 2019, but faults in the air conditioning and then drainage found two weeks earlier were estimated to cost 90 million pounds to fix[3]
- NHS Lothian says the building first opened in July 2020, with all services transferred by March 2021[2]
- The Princess Royal officially opened it later, after the COVID pandemic delayed the ceremony, alongside the Department of Clinical Neurosciences[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
