Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre (SROMC)

OVERVIEW

SROMC is the new cancer support and information centre

based at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, providing

state of the art facilities for patients and their families across

North Yorkshire. Designed by IBI Group and constructed by Sir

Robert McAlpine, the centre offers patients the highest quality

treatments, teamed alongside an integrated supportive care and

complementary therapies.

As always in a healthcare environment, it is imperative that

good hand hygiene is maintained at all times to stop the cross

contamination of bacteria between users of the hospital. As door

furniture is an item that is frequently touched by many different

people, IBI Group wanted an ironmongery solution that would

protect patients and visitors against the cross contamination of

Healthcare Acquired Infections (HCIS) whilst having a matching

finish to rest of the mechanical hardware.

Antimicrobial Copper is the most effective touch surface material

in the fight against pathogeinic microbes, killing greater than

99.9% of bacteria within two hours of exposure. No other

material comes close. Historically, most antimicrobial copper

door furniture has a copper-like appearance but this would not

meet the requirement of a stainless steel aesthetic. By using our

unique Contego range of ironmongery formed from a proven

antimicrobial copper alloy that has the appearance of stainless

steel, Allgood were able to provide a solution that met the

architect’s requirements.

A full specification was created using Contego range such

as lever handles, push plates, pull handles, WC turns and

escutcheons complimented with satin stainless steel mechanical

hardware such as signage, door closers, locks and kick plates.

By selecting the truly unique Contego range, Allgood were able

to supply an ironmongery package that matched the aesthetic

throughout whilst providing protecting against the spread

of bacteria, reducing the risk of infection for the users of the

building.
