Couldn't you just leave spare kit in the locker to use for the way home?Well nothing has changed. Had it confirmed that it's likely to be after we move in that we have somewhere to put out kit. Same colleague above ^ saw me pull up at site this morning covered in sweat and dripping wet, and re-iterated "have you found somewhere for your kit yet" ! Lovely to feel so wanted.PS this person is all dolled up, and looks as though she'd never get 'grubby' with exercise...
Plan B is needed.
We have lockers but they aren't vented, nor do they have hangers. Think I'll take in a piece of wooden dowling, cut approximately to size and a junior hacksaw and wedge the dowling inside the locker. I can then hang my kit on hangers. As for drying, a couple of USB desk fans coupled to a mobile phone 'emergency' charger - should power the fans long enough to dry kit. Feckin genius me !!
Today's site visit reminded me why we need a place to dry stuff, getting back into soggy shorts after a meeting isn't nice !

Anyway it doesn't rain that much around here so I've been told
And means carrying spare kit every day !
Used to use the shower facility on the ground floor, which is occupied by the NHS. No longer:
"I am afraid it is not feasible for you to utilise the shower in our offices. There are many reasons which pose difficulty: security issues for non-employees accessing our offices; insurance issues; we have an increasing flow of delegates attending training, some of whom arrive by 8am and it is not feasible for a non-employee to be accessing a shower which is based in the main corridor off which our training rooms are accessed; The shower was originally installed to provide a clinical training facility for our nursing staff, and I am not sure whether it is in full working order. In addition to this, we are imminently awaiting the installation of a swipe-card access system to increase staff and premises security, after which access to the premises by non-staff members would not be possible."
They have secure bike storage etc and also have a loan bike scheme where you can borrow a bike for a month to see how you get on before committing to a new bike. I agree over each of the past four winters the numbers have been dropping off less but only loonies like me cycle through the worst of it. Only heavy snow on the cycle path stopped me last year.
I think the company my wife co-owns did some work with that Trust (I may be wrong), as she did some work with that Trust??
To do with cycling? If so have they improved the cycle facilities for visitors? Last time I used them the ok ones were full up and the ones left were those ones where you hoist your bike semi upright and then not a decent locking point. I gave up and used some railings instead as quite a few others had done so. I've not been to the new one yet.
No, to do with what was required inside, in terms of clinical space, & what department required in terms of cubicles, size of them, waiting areas what departments had to be adjacent to each other, etc..... (eg; A&E has Radiology, CT Imaging, MRI, Assessment Wards close by)
if you are seeking comparable evidence, in sorry to tell you that the news isn't good. I am responsible for designing and constructing office interiors in London and see what I would approximate as about a 10% take up to incorporate adequate showers and changing/storage facilities.
