The Ear Science Institute (ESI) identified that by creating smaller ‘walk-in’ style facilities in more retail focused centres, there is significant improvement in the accessibility and availability of minor medical services. As a result, OPRA Projects built their first ear and hearing testing facility at the Gwelup Shopping Centre.
Complete within a short three-week programme, the fit-out consisted of consulting rooms, testing rooms, a waiting area and front reception, and hearing testing rooms. The hearing testing rooms required the installation of specific acoustic treatments, with thicker full height walls and acoustic treated mechanical ducting.
