Working closely with the Facilities Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific, Meridian Interiors started the conversion of the existing ground floor WC’s, which was the easier task, as we were working within the envelope of the existing washroom facilities, where services were already in place.
To create a new dedicated disabled WC, as part of the site improvement project, the female WC, which had sufficient space for external partitions to be altered, were adjusted to create another doorway and internal partitions were constructed to form the new space.
To create the new ground floor washrooms, which are dedicated for visitors use only, a ‘high-end’ specification was paramount, as they are located adjacent to the company’s state-of-the-art laboratories. Meridian incorporated full height cubicles, resin troughs style sinks, sensor taps/flushes, hygienic wall cladding, concrete effect vinyl safety flooring and corporate vinyl wall graphics, to really enhance the look and feel of the space.
The first floor WC’s were a slightly more challenging proposition, as Meridian were presented with an open plan mezzanine storage area adjacent to the existing offices, so space planning was at the heart of this element of the project.
Meridian developed a plan to add sufficient amenities for the staff and to extend all relevant services to the area to facilitate the new environment. New dedicated ventilation systems were designed and installed along with waste, cold and hot water pipework infrastructures.
In terms of design, Meridian created these washrooms to be modern, bright and maintenance friendly, using a range of products and finishes that are truly functional and really complement each space.
