The basement floor is primarily reserved for plant equipment associated with the development but also includes some support accommodation including staff changing rooms and stores.

A 20 bed ward is provided at this level with further 20 bed wards provided at levels 2 and 3 in identical layouts. The ward layout is based on a racetrack plan where the beds are arranged on the perimeter of the building, where they can obtain light and ventilation, and around a central core of support space as required. A separate staff entrance is provided by way of a new bridge link which connects to the hospital corridor described above. 16 Bicycle spaces are provided close to the staff entrance at level 0. The project also includes 20 additional car parking spaces which are provided by way of extending the existing car park 3 at the southern end of the site.
