About this project

Healthcare furniture for Northgate House
The development at Northgate House is part of a £40m project to provide an interdisciplinary education and research space for the people and students of Oxford. Three GP practices have relocated to the new health centre, serving a patient population of around 20,000 people, including a significant student population, living in or close to Oxford city centre.
Features of the Northgate Health Centre include:
- Patient care in modern purpose-built premises led by clinical teams of GPs, practice nurses, health care assistants and community midwives.
- Provision of 27 consulting and treatment rooms, and a shared minor operations room and shared administrative rooms on the first floor.
- Patient services provided on one level in the basement (including a shared reception and waiting areas) accessible via two lifts and a wide staircase from the entrance on Market Street.
- A “Changing Places” facility for people with disabilities (including toilet, shower and changing room).
Furniture colours
Storage units in the clinical areas of the health centre have wood grain oak doors, with some worktops in oak. Units in other areas have blue doors with grey worktops.
