AMC Hospital has undergone a major renovation to modernise the 1,000-bed facility and enhance the safety and well-being of its staff and patients.

More than 10,000m² of existing wired safety glass was replaced with new, transparent glazing solutions from fire safety glass manufacturer Pyroguard, to ensure that the hospital adheres to current industry standards. This upgrade also addressed longstanding challenges with maintaining accurate product data records for the glass partitions and doors, many of which had been extended or replaced over the years without clear traceability. By upgrading the glass throughout the facility, AMC Hospital not only enhanced its aesthetic appeal and improved safety standards but also ensured data consistency across the entire site.
MedicomZes was entrusted with overseeing the project, while Glasdesign were appointed to fabricate and install the glazing systems.
Pyroguard Rapide (Impact 7mm and Impact Satin) was specified for the internal partitions throughout the hospital, incorporating both clear and satin fire safety glass. Pyroguard Protect (Pyroguard T EW30 and T EI30) was installed in areas requiring larger, bespoke pane sizes, delivering exceptional fire protection while aligning with the architect’s aesthetic vision.
