Located on a three-hectare site, Greenwich Square is a phased brownfield regeneration scheme on the site of the former Greenwich District Hospital. It will deliver 645 new homes – 50% of which will be social housing – as well as a new civic centre featuring a leisure centre, retail spaces, library and healthcare facilities, all set around a new public square.
The high specification housing comprises 331 private, 170 social and 144 shared ownership units. The housing will be arranged to create secure and welcoming neighbourhood streets and communal squares which echo traditional street patterns.
Greenwich Square will be London’s first major carbon neutral development. The aim is to deliver a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rated development and to meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 standards.
How ADSF UK LTD took part in this project by installing 2 no pairs of Premis 120 swing operators to bring natural light into the medical centre and to reduce maintenance costs and energy bills.
Greenwich Square Automatic Door Situation:
The main contractors of Greenwich Square Medical Centre were looking for an automated door solution for the new build medical centre as part of a planned project. The client wanted the local community to have pride in their health care service and also wanted to allow natural light into the premises. The medical centre wanted to comply with the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) as many of the patients in the new complex are elderly, disabled or need some assistance to open up heavy manual doors. The Greenwich Square project had strict protocols for contractors working times in the premises and they wanted to ensure that these were adhered to at all times.
Greenwich Square Automatic Doors Solution:
In line with the medical centres requirements, ADSF UK LTD supplied and installed 2 no pairs of quality Premis 120 swing operators. Quite apart from the aesthetic appeal of the new premises the building became DDA compliant and delivers easy and straightforward access for the users. The Premis 120 operators were more than capable of catering for the heavy pedestrian traffic flow that the medical centre will experience on a daily basis.
By using toughened glass in the automatic doors, the medical centre was able to bring in lots more available light. The armour plate glass ensured that accidents were prevented and the patients and employees were kept safe at all times.
The door technicians followed the site protocols at all time and managed to complete the works with the minimum of fuss.
Greenwich Square Outcome:
By utilizing as much of the space with clear glass as possible the entrance way also became an elegant window and enabled the medical centre to be welcoming and bright. The tough durable materials used means that there is a greatly reduced chance of damage to the doors as they are designed for heavy daily use.
The swing doors will automatically swing closed behind themselves so that the harsh elements are kept outside and the tight seals ensure heat is kept in. This will enable the medical centre to reduce its heating bill as more heat is retained within the building.
