project:

create a specialist gym and wellness space


location:

Manchester

client:

NHS Property Services

value:

£115,000




scope of work


this project entailed the conversion and fit-out of existing spaces to optimise healthcare service delivery.


we consulted on the transformation of file storage space into a gym/assessment area, the repurposing of a vacant office into a group/training room, the creation of a small office space for clinical staff, and the enhancement of parking and accessibility for patients.

challenges faced


accommodating the brief within limited space, while ensuring accessibility for all users proved to be the biggest challenge of this project.


addressing access constraints from the main entrance to the designated spaces posed additional hurdles. 


the project was also operating under a tight timeframe due to the expiring lease on existing space, necessitating efficient planning and execution to meet deadlines.

outcome


our efforts resulted in significant improvements for the centre – and for healthcare service providers and users alike.


the clinicians were delighted with the relocation from a commercial rented space to a well-designed, clinically appropriate facility co-located with other NHS service providers.


the close proximity of the gym and coaching/training spaces proved immensely beneficial. 


lastly, having the gym and coaching/teaching space nearby offers significant advantages – it's an effective way to utilise previously unused space within the facility.
