LauraLynn House
project information
The main project consisted of the construction of a 2 storey building with 8 single bed occupancy childcare bedrooms and en-suites for the palliative care of terminally ill children. The facility also provided separate ensuite bedrooms at first floor level to accommodate visiting families. The building was a traditional build but with great emphasis on environment and sustainability.
A high level of sensitive building services were required including oxygen, vacuum supply and storage, Nurses call systems, overhead hoist facilities, overall access control, CCTV and a very demanding requirement for disabled access, egress and utilisation of sanitary and hydro-bath facilities.
