New life and light
The refurbishment of the Victorian wing of the old Jessop Hospital for Women has successfully been completed. The interior has been designed to maximise space and allow natural light to flow between rooms and passageways. Architects, Careyjones, worked with main contractor, Kier Northern, to reinstate and repair many of the existing features of the building as well as add new elements and transform dark corridors.

Door solutions extends hospital stay The quality, performance and durability of ASSA ABLOY’s door solutions is no better illustrated than at Nottingham University Hospitals’ NHS Trust’s Queen’s Medical Centre campus where around 15,000 locks or ironmongery sets installed in the original 1970s building have required little maintenance and remain fully operational after 30 years of continuous use. The same is equally true of the newer Ear, Nose & Throat unit on the site, where ASSA ABLOY’s integrated door locking and security systems have also provided successful security and access control for the past ten years. In a bid to provide a full design solution and not just an ironmongery specification, ASSA ABLOY has supplied a variety of its products for use throughout the main hospital and other buildings. All products comply with DDA regulations and meet the needs of heavy traffic and usage.
