The original 1960's workshop facilities were spread throughout the ground floor in 5 seperate workshop facilities and a remote stores facility. Over several decades each workshop had been altered to suit various changes in working practices however the Electrical and Mechanical Services and the majority of layouts were much as the original provision.
The main objective was to rationalise the space used for production, provide a new workshop facility for both orthotic's and prosthetic's, thereby increasing productivity / throughput, to improve on service delivery and the overal experience for patients.
The new workshop facility was secured by electronic door access control system, within which staff had their own facilities, the workshop comprised of a Plaster Room, Machine Tool Workshop, A General Workshop, A Specialist Lamination Facility, A Carver/Tracer Room, Decontamination Facilities, A new Store Room, a New Oven and Glueing Space.
The workshop space was rewired, speicalist extraction was introduced for both dust and fumes. A new heating system was installed along with a tempered return air supply, and a new BMS system was installed.
