History
editThe planning for the hospital, which was commissioned to replace the Richmond Surgical Hospital and the Jervis Street Hospital began in 1977.[3] The design was based on the scheme for the Cork University Hospital. It was built at a cost of €52.7 million and was officially opened on 29 November 1987.[3] Beaumont Hospital took over management of St. Joseph's Hospital in Raheny in August 2004.[4]
The Dublin Brain Bank, a research facility for post-mortem storage and examination of brain tissue, opened at Beaumont Hospital in October 2008.[5] A new cystic fibrosis unit opened at the hospital in December 2010[6] and a new radiation therapy unit for cancer treatment was established at the hospital in 2012.[7]
The Ashlin Centre, a new adult psychiatric facility, was built and opened to patients in 2014.[8]
The new RCSI Smurfit Building was opened on the Beaumont Hospital campus in 2018, built at a cost of €9.5 million.[9][10]
