Overview

Project Overview

KPS was appointed by Kent County Council to deliver internal refurbishment and alteration works at Sittingbourne Library in Kent. The project focused on improving the functionality, accessibility and flexibility of the building for both library users and wider community services.

The works included the creation of new internal spaces, consultation rooms and upgraded facilities, helping the building support a broader range of public services within one community setting.

Challenges

The Challenge

The project required the existing library environment to be adapted to support multiple uses, including registration services, NHS consultation space and midwifery appointments.
This meant the works needed to be planned carefully to ensure the finished layout provided suitable, practical and compliant spaces for a range of different service users.

Refurbishment

KPS delivered a package of internal alterations, refurbishment works and fire safety upgrades throughout the building.

Installation

Supporting Community and Public Services

A key part of the project was adapting the library to support a wider mix of community-facing services. The newly formed consultation rooms and registration space allow the building to serve more than its traditional library function.
The works were delivered with a focus on improving usability, accessibility and the overall quality of the internal environment.

Result

The Result

The completed refurbishment improved the layout and functionality of Sittingbourne Library, creating new spaces for public, community and healthcare-related services.

Through a coordinated package of internal alterations, flooring upgrades, room formations and fire safety improvements, KPS helped create a more flexible and practical building for Kent County Council and the local community.
