The Pentagon centre approached Multicare when they were planning the installation of a changing places room in the place of a disused storage area and cleaner’s cupboard. By not installing Christmas lights one year in the centre they had saved enough money to install a changing places room, and they felt that this would benefit the shoppers significantly.
After an initial visit Multicare established that although the room was small, it could be adapted to meet the changing places requirements. Multicare prepared space planning drawings and a full schedule of works including structural requirements for a new beam that had to be installed.
Due to the location of the changing places room, at the entrance to the main toilets for the shopping centre, all the works had to be carried out at night. The fitters worked through the night for six weeks to provide this changing places room.
The works were completed on schedule and on budget and shoppers in Chatham can now enjoy a changing places room.
