The Emily Siddon Building is the second major development within the University of Huddersfield’s National Health Innovation Campus (NHIC), representing a significant investment in healthcare innovation, education, and community wellbeing.
Named after Emily Siddon, a pioneering figure in healthcare, the £60m facility brings together healthcare services, specialist teaching spaces, and business innovation.
The building is home to the UK’s first Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) located on a university campus, operated by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. It provides patients with access to MRI and CT scanning services while supporting healthcare education through specialist teaching facilities for students.
In addition, the building includes a Health and Wellbeing Innovation Centre, providing support and workspace for local entrepreneurs and start-up businesses, backed by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.

Kier Construction appointed Inscape based on our long-standing relationship and proven track record of successfully delivering projects across a variety of sectors.
Having worked with both Kier Construction and AHR Architects on numerous developments, we were involved throughout the design and delivery stages, providing robust, hygienic, and durable solutions suited to the building’s healthcare and educational environments.
We manufactured and installed:
- Extremus Healthcare Full Solid Grade Laminate IPS Systems
- Extremus Full Solid Grade Laminate Vanity Units
To ensure long-term durability, hygiene performance, and aesthetic quality, we specified premium materials and components throughout, including:
- Fundermax Solid Grade Laminate
- Fundermax High Pressure Laminate
The selected materials were chosen to provide a highly durable and low-maintenance solution capable of withstanding the demands of a busy healthcare and educational facility, while complementing the contemporary architectural design of this landmark development.
