A + J’s latest project, Parkside Medical Centre, was officially opened by the junior health minister, Dan Poulter, on 27th March 2014. This was an extension and alteration of an existing medical centre that can now accommodate a patient list of 20,000. The 2 storey extension doubled the size of the original building and the alterations were carefully planned to minimise disruption and to enable the practice to continue operating during the construction work through the use of onsite temporary accommodation and carefully phased refurbishment work. Parkside is located within a Conservation Area which required careful consideration particularly on the Tawney Street elevation. In order to make space for the new building work, a car showroom was demolished as part of the project. The new entrance canopy draws people in and highlights the importance of this facility in Boston.
