Project Brief:
In 2015, Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust stated its intentions that the
hydrotherapy pool was very dated and the changing rooms were small and not easily disabled
accessible. Radiators & pipe work were rusty, window seals were hanging down, poolside
floor was not up to latest non slip standards, blown plaster due to leaking showers and water
drips into pool from leaking roof.
Construction works to create adequate areas for effective and efficient use of the hydropool
include as follows:
• Alteration of partition walls to
reconfigure the layout of both
changing rooms.
• New mechanical ventilation with
hygienic air grilles and heat recovery
• Hot and cold water services for
clinical sink and showers
• New windows with triple glazed
• New high levels luminaries in LED
• New clear rooflights in triple skins
• New insulation at roof level to reduce
condensation and heating cost
• Presence Detectors (PIR sensors)
designed to switch off lights if an
area is unoccupied
• New wireless emergency call system
• New hygienic Glass Reinforced
Polyester (GRP) doors
• New wall cladding in tiles
• New flooring in antislip ceramic tiles
