Laboratory Design & Fit Out for Manufacturer in Oxfordshire.

Careful planning to meet deadlines.

This project needed to be delivered safely and efficiently, as we were working within the live production space. We used temporary partitions to control dust during the demolition and groundworks phases, and carefully planned the sequence of works to ensure safe working without delays. 

This project - the design and build of a research laboratory - was completed by the client’s original target date, despite the added complexities of working within COVID-19 restrictions.

The structure.

The space comprised old brick-built laboratory rooms under a narrow concrete mezzanine, opening into a full-height production/warehouse space. Much of the existing brick structure had to be carefully removed, while the concrete mezzanine was retained.

We proposed a new bespoke steel framework to provide a strong and stable structure to support the ceilings, partitions and array of services. Old brick walls were dry lined to create a modern and clean ambience. The client required a large amount of glass partitioning to keep the space feeling open and provide an impressive view for visitors.
