Gordon Ramsay Opens New Centre for Scottish Spina Bifida Association
Honorary Patron Gordon Ramsay flew in to Glasgow especially to open the Dan Young Building, the new Family Support Centre for the Scottish Spina Bifida Association. Cooper Cromar, designers of the new Centre, were delighted to be invited along to attend the opening ceremony.
The new facility accommodates the Family Support Service and will allow the Association to expand it's support services to meet its users in the 21st century. As well as providing a relaxing environment for families to visit, it will provide training, recreational and support services and is also uniquely equipped with a Telemedicine suite. This will enable those with spina bifida and hydrocephalus to receive medical advice via video conferencing equipment from health professionals based across the UK.
Other companies involved in the project include Struer (Structural Engineers), Storrier and Donaldson (QS), Whitby Bird (Services Consultants), Christopher Palmer Associates (Landscape) and Robertson Construction (Main Contractor).
In addition, at an earlier presentation, Cooper Cromar were also delighted to present a cheque to SSBA in the amount £900 which was raised following their annual charity cycle ride around Cumbrae. The practice was represented by Hazel McIntyre, Caroline McIlwraith and Dick Blaikie.
