Project Overview
Entrance Requirement
The hospital required a reliable automatic entrance that could support continuous public access and accommodate users with different mobility needs.
The clear opening needed to be wide enough for wheelchairs, patient transport equipment and emergency movement while remaining safe for elderly and vulnerable users.
