The brief
Innova’s brief was to design an inspirational and functional reception desk that serves as the focal point of Aintree University Hospital’s entrance.
The objective was to develop an eye-catching reception desk that provides an immediate sense of welcome for patients and visitors. The design needed to harmonise aesthetics with functionality, facilitating the smooth flow of high traffic while fostering a tranquil environment.
Additionally, it was essential to incorporate clear signage and ensure accessibility for individuals with disabilities, all contributing to a positive experience for everyone arriving at the hospital.
The well-designed reception creates a welcoming, efficient, and calming environment, enhancing the hospital’s overall atmosphere and supporting the patient care experience.
The solution
Innova developed an elliptical design with integral services and storage, incorporating generous DDA provision as well as privacy screens to maintain patient confidentiality.
-
The striking mono-chrome scheme was chosen to create a contemporary yet clean looking environment.
-
A unique elliptical counter was designed and fabricated in three complimentary colours of Corian to ensure maximum design versatility.
-
Solid surface materials were also selected to provide a non-porous surface that does not harbour dirt, absorb moisture or support microbial growth as well as being easy to clean and maintain – perfect hygienic environment for hospitals.
-
Integrated concealed service containment, allowed power, data, alarm and security cabling to be housed within the main body of the reception desk.
-
Low level flexible storage was installed, providing easy access to records and information.
The new reception area reflects the hospital’s dedication to accessibility, comfort, and professionalism, effectively managing the flow of people and ensuring a positive first impression for everyone who enters.
