The Duke of Gloucester will officially unveil the new state-of-the-art building on Monday July 7.
On the same day he has also been asked to open the restored Christchurch Park as well as St Lawrence's Church as a centre for the community in Ipswich.
The new £26million Garrett Anderson Centre finally opened at Ipswich Hospital earlier this month after months of delays.

Christchurch Park has undergone a massive overhaul in the past two years with more than £4million being spent doing it up.
