As part of an NHS Trust’s LIFT-funded £9 million project to upgrade and expand a health centre in Darwen, Lancashire, PSA was responsible for the Mechanical and Electrical design and site supervision. The new purpose-built facility integrated seamlessly with the existing structure to provide expanded services like dentistry and clinics, while meeting the Trust’s low-energy requirements and tight timeline.

CLIENT OBJECTIVES
This project involved upgrading and expanding a group of health centres funded by the Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT). The client required a purpose-built space to accommodate an refurbished GP surgery with additional new build provisions. Our task was to work with the existing building, and integrate the new construction seamlessly with the existing structure.
OUR SOLUTION
PSA completed a full Mechanical and Electrical design and site supervision of the project. We delivered the project on a tight timescale due to the constraints and limitations of the funding,. The project was delivered to meet low energy criteria stipulated by the NHS Trust.
THE OUTCOME
The new building now houses additional services next to the original GP surgery including, dentistry, clinics, audiology, podiatry and treatment rooms.
