Murray Pharmacy

Our main remit was to make much better use of the space to create a larger dispensing pharmacy incorporating automation and dedicated areas within the design for retail, patient seating, a consultation room and a private advice area.

We approached this by completely reimagining the layout including the creation of outputs on either side of the robot with surrounding storage areas and this lent itself to creating a spacious and dedicated area for deliveries and for script collection.   There is also an easy pharmacist and patient access to the consultation room and a forward-facing COVID-secure counter.  Directly facing the counter, we have also created a comfortable and spacious waiting area

The dispensary is now nearly three times the size it was and although the new design has seen a reduction in retail space, there is still an aesthetically pleasing and broad retail offering presented on floor to ceiling avola grey shelving on the internal-facing walls, complimenting the turquoise and white colour theme of the external fascia and window graphics.

M & D Green, Bishopbriggs

Following the acquisition of the retail unit next door, the M & D Green Group of Dispensing Chemists has created one of its largest pharmacies in Kirkintilloch High Street in the village centre of Bishopbriggs.

Acquiring the next-door unit has allowed for a much larger dispensary and in total, has made the pharmacy 2.5 times the size it was originally.

Our remit included obtaining planning permission for the new signage/Pharmaself24 and obtaining a building warrant for all the construction work which included the creation of a fire escape at the back of the building to service these much larger premises.   The dispensary is now about 4 times the size of the original dispensary and we increased the retail space by about 100%.”
