ModuleCo's Central London Medical Centre at Imperial College

This two-storey, stand alone building totalling 1,000m2, had to be installed with minimum disruption in the prestigious area of South Kensington, London. The facility accommodates a GP Surgery and Dental Practice on a temporary basis (for 2 years) while the permanent healthcare facility is built as part of the Princess Gardens Residence. At the end of the hire period (August 2007) the facility will be available to be relocated to a new client for hire or sale.

The main entrance to the facility is actually on the upper floor due to a difference in ground levels, this meant an integrated disabled lift and staircases were needed inside the building to allow access to the lower floor. Both surgeries have separate patient waiting and staff areas, enabling them to work independently of one another. The dental surgery includes four dentist rooms, reception, waiting and staff areas. The GP surgery benefits from GP, nurse, treatment and therapy rooms, two-bed sick bay, clean and dirty utility, 64 persons waiting, staff, record and administration areas.

Fabricating the facility off-site in the factory and delivering it to the Imperial College site almost complete, resulted in minimum disruption to this prestigious central London location when compared to a traditional building project. Yet, it was built to permanent building standards, designed to provide safe, bright, comfortable and functional accommodation, and completed in only 18 weeks!
