Part of HMS Drake’s larger Naval Service Recovery Centre, the Parker VC recovery facility has been built on a brownfield site. It is designed as a specialist adaptive accommodation facility, which features 60 single cabins and six family cabins.
It is a steel frame construction with composite floor, Metsec inner leaf and Forticrete outer leaf, featuring brick on its upper three floors with composite aluminium and timber windows.
To offer the wounded, injured and sick the best recovery facilities, the building’s reception area, function room and bedrooms have been fitted out with specifications and high standard. There is even an attractive rooftop terrace featuring restful planting schemes.
The entire initiative is being supported with a £21 million ($31.90 million) commitment by Help for Heroes.
