## Project Brief

Waltham Forest Council faced a pressing challenge: to modernize their outdated mortuary facilities while maintaining essential services. The existing Victorian-era building was ill-equipped to meet the growing demand for forensic services, creating a critical need for a state-of-the-art replacement.

The council sought a solution that would not only provide superior facilities but also minimize disruptions to ongoing operations. Faced with tight timelines and a demanding brief, they turned to Elite Systems for an innovative approach.

**Key challenges:**

- **Outdated facilities:** The existing mortuary was unable to meet modern standards for hygiene, safety, and efficiency.
- **Limited capacity:** The building struggled to accommodate the increasing demand for forensic services, leading to delays and inefficiencies.
- **Operational constraints:** The council needed to ensure that essential services continued uninterrupted throughout the construction process.

By partnering with Elite Systems, Waltham Forest Council was able to overcome these challenges and deliver a transformative solution for their community.

 

 

## Our Approach

Elite Systems was selected to deliver a cutting-edge forensic centre adjacent to the coroner’s court. The project involved a hybrid construction approach, combining modular design with traditional elements, to meet specific requirements and integrate seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

**Key Features:**

- **Modern facilities:** The new centre boasts a range of modern amenities, including a morgue, post-mortem room, non-invasive CT scanner, offices, and a relatives/viewing room.
- **Efficiency and sustainability:** The building is energy-efficient, incorporating solar panels and a green roof.
- **Sensitive design:** The architecture was carefully chosen to blend with the existing coroner’s court, ensuring a harmonious appearance.
- **Improved visitor experience:** The centre features a welcoming reception area and a comfortable viewing room for bereaved families. <https://www.elitesystemsgb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/stanway3.jpg>
