Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry has a new main entrance.
The impressive entrance is part of the new North Wing of the hospital which is now fully operational.
It represents a major transformation of the local hospital.
As well as the new main entrance, the wing also has six new wards spanning over three floors.
The building was designed by local architecture practice, HLM Architects.
Three of the 24-bed wards became operational in April of this year as HLM worked with the Western Trust and the contractor to fast-track the project in order to assist the Trust in managing the Covid-19 surge capacity at the hospital.
