Western Health Trust in Omagh, Northern Ireland approached us with a challenge: to provide two anti-ligature covered outdoor areas that would also be safe and secure for patients to use.
We collaborated closely with the client and their construction company to develop a comprehensive solution to their unique requirements. This involved designing spacious hospital canopies to meet the stringent safety standards required for a mental health facility, in particular focusing on anti-ligature features, including:
The side walls enclose three sides of the canopies and also ensure it remains comfortable and functional year round, regardless of weather conditions.
The final design proudly features our industry-leading Spaceshade anti-ligature hospital canopy system, renowned for its durability and innovative design. This system provides a welcoming and sheltered outdoor area, enhancing the hospital environment and offering a serene space for patients, visitors, and staff to enjoy, thereby contributing positively to the overall healthcare experience.
