Constructed from Norwood’s revolutionary pod system, the new facility comprises operating theatres, comfortable recovery suites, a stylish reception and modern consulting rooms. The pods are built from a series of individual steel-framed rooms that can be easily relocated, assembled or dismantled to create a truly flexible environment. Crucially, the pods are free-standing and are entirely structurally independent from the building envelope in which they are placed. Any future adaptation to the facility can be done much faster than with the standard construction approach reducing clinic downtime.

Avenues aspired to create warm and comforting environment that builds trust and provides a better patient experience, staying away from a typically ‘clinical’ feel.  As part of this hospitable design concept, Norwood developed several new products such as demountable wooden slide, swing and fold doors, and a range of new customizable panels with different textures and finishes, including veneer oak and anti-bacterial fabric. Timber and fabric finishes made the space feel welcoming and comfortable. At the same time, Norwood utilised their hygienic steel panels in medical areas, to ensure statutory compliance.

Norwood team completed all the finishes, from various skirtings and integrated cupboards through lightings and microcement tops to supplying furniture.
