Case Studies
South Shields General Hospital originally contacted Falco when the requirement for a waiting shelter became apparent due to the continuous down pour of rain and snow Britain has recently seen. The Spok waiting shelter has been modified by Falco?s design team to meet the hospital?s requirements by removing a side panel to provide maximum access for all users. The images attached shows the robust Spok waiting shelter well at home within its surroundings.
