Kings College Hospital – A Case Study in Bespoke Lab Furniture
Bespoke Hospital Lab Furniture Solutions by InterFocus
Kings College Hospital, one of London’s busiest and most respected teaching hospitals, serves the boroughs of Southwark, Lambeth, Bromley, and Lewisham. Originally established in 1840 within the disused St Clement Danes workhouse near Lincoln’s Inn Fields and King’s College itself, the hospital was initially intended as a training facility. It offered medical students from King’s College London the opportunity to learn directly under the instruction of the university’s professors.
Enhancing Laboratory Functionality and Cleanliness
When InterFocus was commissioned to supply and install specialist hospital furniture for Kings College Hospital, we understood that the project demanded more than just durability. It required a solution that was hygienic, practical, and future-ready. Therefore, we implemented our InterFocus Furniture System, which was enhanced with Trespa work surfaces to ensure a consistently high standard of hygiene and functionality.
Supporting Workflow Efficiency and Organisation
Additionally, the laboratory benching was equipped with our reagent shelving, which offered adjustable height shelves and integrated electrical outlets. As a result, the setup improved spatial efficiency and supported safe, streamlined workflows. The shelving design also enabled convenient access to power sources from central points, thereby enhancing day-to-day laboratory operations.
Long-Term Value in a Demanding Teaching Environment
Naturally, in a high-pressure teaching hospital environment, quality furniture is essential. It not only supports the learning experience for medical students but also ensures healthcare professionals can focus on patient care without distraction. With this in mind, we carefully planned, designed, and supplied all furniture to meet the hospital’s precise specifications. As a result, the solutions delivered continue to offer long-term value across wards, labs, and clinical rooms.
