Teknoglass advanced glazing systems was an intrinsic part of the design and installation for the refurbishment of a 20 bed open planned intensive care unit complete with five hermetically sealed high dependency bays and two private rooms for the south’s most critically ill children. As with any project in such a sensitive environment the refurbishment of the children’s intensive care unit at University Hospital Southampton had to put, patient care, hygiene and usability at the forefront of the specification.
From the early stages of design, the Teknoglass team worked with the main contractors, LST, and the NHS teams to ensure that the solution integrated our bespoke ground-breaking technology to facilitate the challenging requirements.
The project started in early 2022 and was handed over to University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust on the 19th December 2022 and became fully operational over the busy festive period.
The new PICU unit was a follow-on development from the rebuild of the main general intensive care ward constructed through the two Covid lockdowns.
The delivery included state of the art Teknoglass medical glazing systems, specifically designed for infection control, enabling the paediatric ICU rooms to provide the best protection for the children both in terms of privacy and protection.
