PC HENDERSON STATE OF THE ART HOSPITAL BENEFITS FROM P C HENDERSON’S SIROCCO SYSTEM SLIDING AND FOLDING DOOR HARDWARE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN SPECIFIED FOR A STATE OF THE ART HOSPITAL BUILD IN BREDA, HOLLAND Covering 128,000 square metres, the new ultra-modern Amphia Hospital was officially opened in November 2019. The design brief focused on creating a new world of medical care – aiming for increased one to one patient contact, shorter waiting times, the highest level of health care and a peaceful and comfortable environment. A key component in achieving this was the design layout of 514 private luxury rooms with adjoining bathrooms. The contactor wanted to ensure ease of movement around the room - as well as enhanced privacy and comfort. A key solution in achieving this was through the specification of a sliding door system to separate the main room from the bathroom. P C Henderson’s Sirocco system was identified as the best solution for the project. ARCHETECH - PAGE 46
