ISG Totty Building is part way
through a £695K project with Kirklees Council to
build a new Employee Health Care Unit in
Huddersfield. The Unit, which will replace temporary
facilities in an out of town location, will provide
a range of occupational health services and advice
to council employees and managers.
The first phase of the scheme involved the
demolition of several derelict buildings occupying
the Claremont Street site. ISG Totty Building then
commenced construction of the two-storey facility,
which has been carefully designed to fit into its
local environment, featuring brick, local stone and
render panels to its façade and a pitched slate
roof.
Once completed, the new Health Care Unit will
include a reception and waiting area, four
consulting, and three counselling rooms, along with
a fitness training room. The first floor
accommodation features a large open plan office
area, staff room, meeting room and store areas.
Externally, ISG Totty Building will construct a
number of retaining walls on the sloping site and
form a car park to the side of the building, as well
as carrying out a range of hard and soft landscaping
finishes.
Paul Clarkson, construction director at ISG Totty
Building, commented: “The new Unit presents Kirklees
Council with a dedicated and purpose built health
care resource, providing a comprehensive range of
services to council staff. ISG Totty Building
continues to work closely with the council on a
range of schemes across its property portfolio and
this latest project reinforces the strength of this
longstanding partnership.”
