project:

conversion and fit out of 3rd floor to create specialist dental training facility

location:

Altrincham


client:

NHS England

value:

£1.1M





scope of work


this consultancy project focused on converting existing office space into a cutting-edge dental training school.


the scope included creating large training spaces and classrooms, equipping them with dental simulation equipment for both prosthetic and digital simulations, establishing X-ray training suites, and designing mock clinical rooms to mimic real-life scenarios.

challenges faced


the project encountered several challenges stemming from the building's original fit-out as office accommodation.


ventilation adequacy posed a concern, requiring adjustments to meet training requirements.


fitting out X-ray facilities within space designed for offices presented logistical hurdles.


there were also IT connectivity issues, due to limited bandwidth, which compounded the challenges – as well as the time pressures that were intensified to align with student intake schedules.

outcome


our support culminated in the establishment of a flagship dental school, addressing the nationwide shortage of dental clinicians.


the consolidated facilities provide the all-necessary resources for comprehensive training within a single space, optimising efficiency.


repurposing previously vacant space within an existing healthcare asset proved highly beneficial, aligning with governmental directives to enhance healthcare education infrastructure.
