The brief
East Surrey Hospital wanted to enlarge its Emergency Department by over 133m2 and came to us hoping to give the functional new hospital extension a striking, modern appearance that would create an inviting feel for patients entering the building, often in stressful situations.
The response
Working closely with the hospital team and architect ADP we created a low maintenance structural steel frame and ‘envelope’ to encase the hospital extension – all connected to the original structure. Made with vibrant, fire rated architectural cladding, this ‘envelope’ gave the hospital everything they were hoping for – a cost effective solution with a striking, modern look.
The wow
We’re proud that when East Surrey’s extension was inspected by the Quality Care Commission, it was given an ‘Outstanding’ rating – a reflection of the quality of the build and new environment created – an environment which can be enjoyed for decades to come thanks to our industry leading build guarantees.
