A range of Gradus wall protection and flooring accessories products has been installed within the new five-storey, £28 m Allam Building at the University of Hull’s Health Campus.
The Allam Building features a mock operating theatre, hospital ward, and intensive care unit – providing an effective learning environment for practical training of doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers, in a clinical environment.
Gradus has supplied bedhead protectors, high impact and standard PVCu corner guards, and dual-height wall guards. Katie Knass, press officer for the University of Hull, said: “With the training facility expected to experience heavy impact and abrasion caused by beds, trolleys, and medical equipment, we needed a wall protection package that offered a high level of protection without detracting from the interior design. Gradus was on hand throughout the specification to offer guidance and advice. The new range of 34 colours meant we had plenty of choice.”
Gradus ADXT2 aluminium XT stair edgings and Esplanade 5000HD primary barrier matting were also specified, the latter for the building’s entrance to minimise the amount of dirt and debris tracked into the facility.
