Solaglas was appointed to handle the glazing by contractors ER Hemming while design was provided by O'Leary Goss Architects.
The hospice remained open throughout the project with Solaglas working around the needs of the hospice, its patients and their families.
Solaglas used Technal FXi windows and installed structural glazing for the project in two phases.
Surrounded by a moat, the new timber framed chapel is the centre piece of the development providing hospice users with panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.
The refurbished in-patient unit and day-patient unit now has a new orangery to replace its old conservatory as well as a room for creative therapy.
While the new education wing provides much needed office space and state of the art lecture facilities.
Edwin Hill, partner at O'Leary Goss said: "Solaglas' project management and installation expertise was instrumental to the success of this project and enabled it to be finished with minimum disruption to the Hospice." Dorothy House is a charity, founded on Christian principles of care.
It provides services in the community and at the hospice free of charge, offering physical, psychological, social and spiritual care to patients and their families facing life threatening illness, death or bereavement.
