Terrapin’s off-site construction technology has facilitated the rapid completion of Welwyn Garden City’s new walk-in health centre, the Spring House Medical Centre.
The company’s Unitrex building system provided a fast, flexible solution for the 300 m2 structure, with factorybuilt panelised units delivered “flat packed” ready for speedy assembly and finishing on site. From start of erection to handover of the single-storey building to primary care Trust NHS East & North Hertfordshire took just nine weeks. The scheme was delivered under the NHS LIFT initiative by Assemble Community Partnership on behalf of the PCT. The facility incorporates reception and waiting areas, consulting and treatment rooms, management offices, and clinical stores. The specification also includes air conditioning and an innovative “light pipe” system in the main lobby.
