Premier Inn, Uxbridge
Premier Inn has recently invested in the redevelopment of its Uxbridge hotel to provide increased accommodation options and better facilities for guests.
The project involved the creation of new treatment rooms and reception areas within the existing health suite accommodation. The Practice was responsible for the design and site monitoring of the related mechanical, electrical and public health services installations. The works had to be carried out whilst the health and spa facilities were maintained in operation, representing significant technical challenges.
