MK Contracts was awarded the removal of the Princess Alexander Hospital old reception entrance and the design of a new free flowing main entrance. The new revolving doors were chosen by our design team and the rest of the project was designed around the largest revolving doors installed in the UK with new open-plan reception areas. The new entrance was opened up on 30th April 2018 by Harlow’s local MP Rt Hon Robert Halfon.

Project scope:
The project was one of the first tranche of a nationwide washroom refurbishment program and, as such, was still in the early stages of design and manufacture of bespoke elements required to realise the architect’s and client’s vision.
After extensive demolition and alterations to the existing concrete structure, plus installation of the mechanical ventilation, the use of radius walls within the washrooms aided in producing a more special effect within the new area. Extensive templating was deployed to ensure all our in-house produced joinery items were fitted correctly to these walls. Touch sensor taps and toilet flush systems completed the new sanitary ware installation. To complete the refurbishment, extensive use of painted glass and graphics finalised the visual collage to these refurbished male and female facilities. Finally, the adjoining 1970’s lift lobby was completely refurbished to a similar level, complimenting the whole washroom experience.
