Project Description

MPH collaborated with Yorkshire-based ACA Architects to build Suite 36 at Hull Royal Infirmary, a new prefabricated office workspace construction and interior fit. This was for Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust in Hull Royal Infirmary. This project was part of the Trust Estate rationalisation program to improve efficiency and support the hospital’s evolving working culture.

Suite 36 is a second-floor office development designed to accommodate various health and well-being services. These include social workers from Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the Humber Mental Health Team, corporate nursing staff, patient experience personnel, and a call centre for patient referrals.

Prefabricated Office Build & Fit Out Brief

“As trust staff spend most of their time indoors, the initial brief was to create a working environment with high specification which is accessible, sustainable, and stimulating for staff to enjoy and feel proud to work in”

900sqm Open Plan Prefabricated Offices

Showcasing Modern Modular Interior Design

The scheme was completed as part of a design-based competition showcasing 900sqm of open-plan office space for 120 workstations, video conferencing facilities, meeting rooms, and modern design features.

Using design principles contained in WELL Building Standards, the layout was straightforward, with flowing circulation spaces, eye-catching interiors, and motivating environments to support health and wellbeing, including using a biophilic design ‘living wall’.

Open Plan Modular Office Layout

Open-plan meeting spaces are designed to encourage spontaneous meetings and collaboration with multiple working areas. Spaces to accommodate different user groups for focused work areas and also breakout desk-free areas.

FURNITURE DESIGN

Modern, vibrant furniture and fittings to enhance the open plan layout into different working or breakout areas. Clusters of ergonomic desk solutions, storage and seating enable members to function in both a social or uninterrupted manner.

COLOUR SCHEME

The bright colours and themed artwork found throughout the office were inspired by the beauty of nature, helping to guide people through the space and maintain a positive flow—the use of vibrant and symbolic colours to enhance mood and encourage positive psychology.

11-Week Build For New NHS Offices In Yorkshire

On-site construction of the new offices took 11 weeks to complete this modern prefabricated office space.

CONSIDERED ACOUSTICS IN PREFAB OFFICE

The materials to prefabricate and finish the office interior architecture were carefully considered to ensure superior acoustic sound-absorbing properties. We worked collaboratively with the architect and the Trust to create a bespoke modular environment strategically.

Energy Saving Prefabricated Office

For improved sustainability and to support the changing working methods, the new technology installed ensured accessibility and energy savings.

Standard-sized wall heights and ceiling layouts to accommodate standard-sized products, thereby mitigating waste.
Insulated walls reduce noise and regulate temperature.
Changing LED artwork complements the open and bright reception area.
Thermal control sensors in the windows for operating, glare control and thermal comfort.
Light sensors and LED fittings reduce energy usage and costs while increasing lifecycle.
Lighting closer to the perimeter has in-built photocells with units individually self-dimming in conditions where natural light negates the need for artificial light.
Sanitaryware is fitted with flow control restrictors, including waterless urinals, to reduce water consumption.
The lift features NGV valve control, which prevents overheating and, therefore, energy wastage.
Underfloor power distribution feeds into individual floor boxes, and a ‘powertrack’ busbar can be used for future connections.
Quooker taps are installed in the kitchen area to save water and energy compared with kettles.

Staff now work in modern, functional, high-spec spaces which are accessible, sustainable and stimulating. They feel proud of their working environment, whether they are working at their desks, grabbing a coffee in the kitchen area, or coming together in one of the inspiring meeting rooms.

“The brief solved the problems staff faced before, namely a lack of storage; departments working remotely and individually; dated office environments that were no longer fit for purpose; and non-descript spaces. They now enjoy functional, zoned spaces that provide a healthy environment, increasing the wellbeing and productivity of the workforce.
