ISG has secured a circa £3.5 million project with
Dr David Brown & Partners to build King’s Medical Centre, a new
health centre in Normanton, situated between Wakefield and
Castleford in West Yorkshire. The part three-storey, steel frame
building occupies a key site within the town centre and replaces an
existing facility which has no further scope for expansion.
Designed to exploit its sloping site, the King’s Medical Centre
features a dentist and PCT facility, with district nurse
accommodation and consulting rooms on the lower ground floor. At
ground floor level, the contractor will create a spacious reception
and waiting room area, as well as a range of GP consulting rooms,
minor surgery suites, treatment and community rooms, and a large
pharmacy facility.
The first floor predominantly houses administrative offices, with
flexible meeting rooms incorporating moveable partition walls, an
archive/filing room and staff common room. Externally, the building
will feature a range of finishes to its façade including brick, rain
screen cladding, metal cladding and curtain walling. ISG Totty will
also form an under croft car park at the rear of the building and
carry out a range of hard and soft landscaping finishes across the
site. The project is due to commence early in the New Year, with
completion scheduled for November 2008.
John Gittins, regional managing director of ISG Totty, commented:
"The new King’s Medical Centre will provide purpose-built
accommodation for a wide range of key healthcare facilities within
the heart of the town centre. Playing an integral role within the
community, the Centre not only provides state-of-the-art clinical
facilities but will also actively support community involvement with
a range of meeting rooms available for use by local interest
groups.”
