Case study
A Enclosed MRI Scanner Walkway for Kings Mill Hospital
An MRI scanner recently installed in a standalone unit at Kings Mill Hospital needed a walkway connecting it to the main building before it could be operational.
Working to very tight time scales, Kensington Systems installed a Spaceshade walkway with side walls, lighting and double opening doors at one end. The project also included all groundworks and a bespoke ramp with handrail for safety and ease of use for the hospital staff.
Anti-Ligature Canopies
A canopy cannot be entirely ligature-free, but you can minimise ligature risk. With safety features such as a non-fragile roof, built-in gutters, concealed downpipes and non-exposed bolts or fixings, a Spaceshade® canopy is well-suited suited to high-risk environments like mental health facilities.

Walkway Canopies
Moving around your hospital site will be safer and more comfortable for patients and staff with Spaceshade® walkway canopies. With the ability to add lighting, sidewalls and doors, our canopies can be customised to meet your needs and help protect vulnerable patients from the weather.
Entrance Canopies
Create a welcoming first impression for patients with our hospital entrance canopies. Kensington Systems' entrance canopies come in attractive, modern designs, including timber and aluminium, that will enhance any entrance to a building.
Enclosed Canopies for Gardens & Recreation Areas
With the option to add infill panels or retractable blinds, our enclosed canopies can create a dry, weather-protected space for patients to enjoy the benefits of spending time outside. The clean lines and modern design enhances any outdoor setting.
Shade Sails
Create a shaded recreation or relaxation area and a striking feature with a shade sail. Available in a wide range of vibrant colours, we offer a choice of designs, including multi-post shade sails, umbrella-style single posts, or bespoke design.
Storage Canopies
Hospitals are always in need of additional storage space, and installing a storage canopy enables you to store equipment and supplies safely and out of the weather. Our modular design not only looks modern but enables you to extend your canopy simply at any time.

Enclosed Canopies
All-Weather Outdoor Spaces for Hospitals
Enclosed canopies with additional side walls or infill panels help to protect patients and staff when outside. Choose from glass, polycarbonate or solid side walls, with the option to add doors or openings to suit your needs. Our Spaceshade canopies also allow for lighting and heaters to be seamlessly integrated into the design.
In a mental health environment, incorporating infill panels to the sides of a Spaceshade canopy decreases potential ligature risk further.
Spending time outside is known to boost mood and overall health and wellbeing - allow your patients and staff to experience the benefits in a sheltered, weather-protected environment.
