Scope

New facilities that include private meeting areas, smart workspaces and most importantly a more welcoming environment

A London Borough of Barnet initiative supporting residents with advice on benefits, wellbeing, health, volunteering, employment and training has received a ‘boost’ thanks to assistance from Greyline who provided a makeover of their Cricklewood centre.
Working with our partners Morgan Sindall, Greyline undertook an extensive programme of works, at no cost to the initiative.
Boost@184 were delivering services from a former shop on Cricklewood Lane, a facility which had been pretty untouched since its use as a retail store and as a result provided basic, cramped and unsuitable spaces from which to provide support for residents.
Through the involvement of Greyline and Morgan Sindall, Boost@184 can now better support residents with new facilities that include private meeting areas, smart workspaces and most importantly a more welcoming environment for current and future users of the centre.
Greyline planned and delivered a core programme of works to overhaul the space:

Provision of new smart workspace desks which are retractable, ensuring the spaces within the facility are flexible and adaptable.
Controlled secure access.
New shop front and signage.
Converted the space taken up by an existing toilet into a private meeting room, supporting one-to-one consultations with service users.
Old boiler room converted into new toilet facilities.
Replacement kitchen and full overhaul of the existing space.
Revamping of existing office space to provide enhanced power supplies and sockets, removal of dated wall cladding, decorating and replacement of suspended ceiling.
Creation of a bicycle repair workshop to assist in skills training and employment opportunities for local residents.
Provision of new disabled access
Full decoration and new flooring
