A new centre for eye care and research in Camden, London
Specialist in demountable modular panelling systems Norwood has been appointed by Bouygues UK to deliver a state-of-the-art Grade B cleanroom at Oriel, a new centre for eye care, research, and education being built in Camden, London.
Oriel is a joint initiative between Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, and Moorfields Eye Charity that will see services move from their current location near Old Street to the brand-new integrated centre.
As a specialist contractor with vast experience in controlled environments, Norwood will deliver the cleanroom architectural package, as well as elements of mechanical and electrical scope. Their team will also play a pivotal role in supporting the commissioning and validation of this critical healthcare space.
Norwood’s scope includes the installation of demountable cleanroom partitions featuring integrated vision panels, low-level extract, pass-through hatches, coving, a walk-on ceiling, and doors—all prefabricated at Norwood’s advanced manufacturing facility in Manchester.
Fully compliant with healthcare regulatory standards, the demountable system ensures rapid and clean installation, minimising on-site health and safety risks while offering sustainability advantages through its recyclable and reusable design. This modular and adaptable system allows the hospital to easily reconfigure the space as future needs arise.
“We are thrilled to contribute to such a groundbreaking project and to once again collaborate with Bouygues UK,” said Josh Bannister, Managing Director at Norwood. “Building on the success of our partnership at the Ray Dolby Centre at Cambridge University, it’s exciting to see modular, high-performance systems being embraced by the healthcare sector for specialised, future-ready environments.”
