New Cross Hospital’s £38 million new A&E department opened its doors on November 25 with mrfdesign supplying and installing 163 beam seating positions to the Main Reception, Outpatients and Radiology departments.

The furniture scheme comprises individual upholstered seats in Vescom Furka vinyl set on bright chrome base frames with intermediate arms and tables. We also delivered c360 jack unit seating to the Children’s Area in vibrant Spectrum Citrus and Marigold vinyl.

The Royal Wolverhampton Hospital NHS Trust were keen to work with a local furniture company to design and manufacture the bespoke beam seating in conjunction with the main contractor, Kier Construction Ltd.

The centre brings all urgent care facilities on the Wolverhampton site under one roof, including the A&E and dedicated radiology and X-Ray facilities. The building is three times the size of the current A&E and will be one of the biggest in the region.
