The light-looking facade is airy and very friendly thanks to the bright yellow and orange colours.
Multi-lane entrances and exits ensure optimised traffic flow.
The MSCP, built by Huber Parking on behalf of Kier Development for West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, provides 1,455 parking spaces over seven levels. Disabled-friendly, convenient parking and fast, fully accessible lifts cater for the needs of all users. A footbridge provides easy access to the hospital and the car park has flexible space for ground floor retail.
It combines modern design with functionality and sustainability, with particular emphasis placed on the integration of numerous electric vehicle charging points and photovoltaic power generation.
"The new car park will significantly improve the parking experience at the hospital."
