Location: Hull Royal Infirmary

Client:  Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

Value: £3.4m

Timeframe: 22 weeks

Design and build project to strip out an existing 900m2 office building, to transform the space into a 20-bed ward with 3 wards, 4 individual rooms and a discharge lounge.

Initially the client brief was to provide a general ward however due to increasing pressures placed on the NHS, requirements changed, instead delivering a cardiac ward. We used state of the art technology and an agile approach to future proof these essential healthcare facilities

All design requirements were reviewed and updated, reflecting the new regulations and requirements. When the scope, design and use changed, we responded quickly, using BIM technology to digitally re-design all plans.

The refurbishment took place in a live healthcare environment, above an existing ward in-use, adjoined to a live control room and a blue ambulance route, a new gantry was created ensuring the ward was sealed to any connecting areas.

• Strip-out of existing office including all services and toilet blocks using dust extraction units.

• Development of a BIM level 2 3D design by working collaboratively with the client.

• Construction of new stud partition walls and suspended ceilings to create a fully designed HTM compliant mechanical and electrical installation to include specialist technology for ECG bedside monitoring.

• Sourcing and completion of all floor finishes throughout the ward with Kydex wrapped doors.

• Treatment rooms with Kydex IPS units, en-suite facilities and trunking.

• Specialist furniture installations including nurse stations, desks and staff work bases.

• Painting finishes to the ward following a specialist colour scheme.
