£multimillion Merseyside hospital received IAC Audiology Suite

Patients of St Helen’s and Knowsley Hospitals NHS Trust in Merseyside are now enjoying the benefits of four new audiology test rooms designed and built by IAC - part of the £338M PFI rebuild of two 150-year-old hospitals.

This is the biggest single investment in healthcare the Merseyside community has ever received and the St Helen’s hospital will be fully completed this year.

The new suite for the audiology department will be treating patients from the whole of Cheshire, Merseyside, North Wales and the Isle of Man.

The suite is built using IAC’s patented modular construction system, Moduline. Using 100mm acoustic panels, floating floor and integral acoustic doors and windows, the rooms are demountable should they require relocating at any time.

The suite consists of two 3.5m-square rooms and two smaller rooms. Tony Argyrou, IAC Project Manager, said: “We incorporated additional features to the suite as requested by the site contractors Taylor Woodrow: all rooms needed to be fire-rated and we were asked to fit special veneers to the exterior doors to fit with the look and feel of the neighbouring environments. As a company we strive to more than exceed our customers’ expectations so are more than pleased to comply with such requests.”

With full air conditioning, IAC supplied the rooms with full duct work ready for connection by other trades.
