The contract worth £550,000 will involve moving the chapel to a new location within the ground floor of the hospital next to the cafeteria, as well as carrying out the interior fit out.
Ian McEwan, akp Scotland's Managing Director, said: "Hairmyres Hospital features Lanarkshire's only cardiac catheterisation centre which includes two high spec labs. In place of the current chapel we will create a seven bed recovery ward which will further strengthen the facilities within this vital heart treatment centre. By relocating the chapel, visitors and patients will also benefit from an improved environment."
