The clinics operate morning and afternoon five days a week and general hospital traffic passes through the space at all times. Accordingly the renovations were completed in six stages with strict infection control procedures in place at all times. Movement of construction personnel, equipment and materials into the space was carefully controlled as was the timing of any work affecting adjacent patient care areas.
