PROJECT
ULSTER UNIVERSITY BELFAST CAMPUS
SYNC LIVING DESIGN AND INSTALL SPECIALIST TOILET AND CHANGING FACILITIES TO ENHANCE THE SAFETY AND DIGNITY OF DISABLED USERS… CHANGING PLACES FACILITIES
S ync Living, specialist supplier of products to support people with impaired mobility, was the chosen partner to deliver Changing Places facilities to blocks BC and BD for the Ulster University Belfast Campus. Specifically, Sync Living supplied and installed full room coverage tracking hoist, height adjustable changing bench, height adjustable wash basin, automatic wash/dry toilet, height adjustable shower seat and appropriate accessories to two Changing Places facilities, one in each block. Changing Places are fully accessible toilets and changing rooms, that provide sufficient space and equipment for people who are not able to use the facilities independently. Sync Living worked with the project design team to select appropriate equipment in line with Changing Places
guidelines and liaised with the main contractor to ensure services were in place for their team to fit out each room. They were also responsible for commissioning the equipment and will continue as a maintenance and training provider for the facilities. Andrew Smyth, Business Development Manager for Sync Living said, “There is a big push to make public buildings more inclusive, conforming to a statutory requirement recently introduced by Stormont for the provision of Changing Places facilities. At 12m 2 the Changing Places toilet facilities are larger than the standard Doc M or accessible bathrooms and can accommodate a person with disabilities and potentially up to two carers.” Sync Living supplied and installed all disabled toilet facilities throughout Ulster University’s new Belfast Campus.
Sync Living and Changing Places UK and Ireland work with landlords, architects, management teams and contractors to advise and install the appropriate inclusive Changing Places facilities into the places that need them most according to BS 8300-2: 2018 building standards.
