COVID-19 has created a massive demand for additional building space to conduct testing, and portable buildings can provide a clean, bright and speedy solution for the healthcare sector. Read on to find out more.
Why Choose A Modular Building For Healthcare Facilities?
Alongside the application of a portable building for coronavirus testing centres, high-quality, bespoke modular buildings can provide your hospital, dental or GP practise with more working space, so that patients can receive the healthcare that they need. Other benefits include:
- Rapid design and construction
- Reduced waiting times
- Reduced cost
- Versatile additional space
- Little to no disruption to patient care and clinical services
- Significantly reduced lead time
- They can be specifically adapted for desired medical use
- Tailored internal and external finishes with safety and appearance in mind
- Building standards are always met - full compliance with all NHS standards as well as local authority building control and regulation
- Space can be maximised in constrained hospital grounds
- Bespoke layouts to suit your patient’s convenience
- Short, medium or long-term design life
- Buildings can be designed as stand-alone or as a connected part of existing infrastructure
At Springfield, nearly 50 years’ experience has built a wealth of inspired design innovations and working practice improvements, all offered as a part of our award-winning service.
We have a wide range of existing buildings in our hire fleet too, from single units to double storey classrooms to satisfy immediate demands. Alternatively, we can build a bespoke building to perfectly meet your needs.
The Applications Of Modular Ward Extensions
Beyond COVID testing centres, the applications of modular hospital units are far-reaching. Uses can include acute and emergency wards and assessment units, isolation wards, males and female wards and surgical wards. In addition to this, non-medical facilities can be created such as lounge areas, reception rooms and kitchen facilities to support patients, families and friends and staff alike.
