Requirement

Midlands Air Ambulance required additional facilities to support both its operational teams and its vital fundraising activity. Having previously partnered with Wernick Buildings to deliver modular buildings at the site, the charity was looking to expand its base.

A new visitor centre was needed to enhance public engagement and provide a dedicated space to showcase the charity’s lifesaving work, which is a key component of its fundraising strategy. At the same time, increased operational demand meant improved staff welfare facilities were required, particularly to support crews working night shifts.

As the charity does not own the land, flexibility and future adaptability were essential considerations. The solution needed to integrate seamlessly with the existing modular buildings while offering the ability to relocate or reconfigure if required, making modular construction the natural and practical choice.

Solution

Wernick Buildings delivered a six-module building designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing modular facilities previously supplied on site. The new accommodation expanded the charity’s base while maintaining consistency in design, quality and operational flow.

The development included enhanced staff welfare facilities, including a gym, sleeping accommodation, lounge area and changing facilities, providing a comfortable and practical environment for crews, particularly those working overnight shifts.

A purpose-built visitor centre was also created, featuring a glass viewing platform to offer an engaging and immersive experience for guests. Additional meeting and visitor rooms were incorporated to support community engagement, fundraising activity and operational requirements, resulting in a flexible, future-ready modular solution tailored to the charity’s evolving needs.
