Milton Keynes Hospital Main Entrance Opens for business
The new Milton Keynes Hospital Main Entrance designed by Bowman Riley is now open. Benefitting from modular construction, the project was delivered on programme, following a 9 week build on site. The main building was constructed in only two days by modular manufacturers Catfoss Group. The building accommodates a new main entrance, reception area and features a bespoke retail area to accommodate three retail units occupied by Little Fresh, Costa Coffee and Subway for patients, staff and visitors.
The building was constructed within a controlled environment, which vastly reduced the time spent on site and provided less material waste. Constructed with both hot and cold rolled steel chassis, the fabric of the building offers an engineered solution featuring high levels of fire resistance and thermal efficiency.
The quick installation time meant that site works were kept to a minimum and air quality conditions were maintained – crucial for a healthcare environment. Final fit-out was conducted on site and the building opened exactly on programme.
