The refurbishment works were to upgrade existing meeting rooms and office spaces to form new laboratory accommodation to assist with the current expansion, a new cold room, meeting spaces and kitchen area. The project was over six phases allowing the client to keep the existing facilities operational whilst installing the new services, all on a very tight programme.

Bower Fuller were involved from the design concept stage with SDC and developed the design with assistance from KJ Tait. Our works incorporated a new ventilation system for meeting rooms and amending the existing ventilation/BMS for the new laboratories layout. The usual changes for wet areas included domestic water services and drainage connected to existing supplies with local drain pumps. New power, data, lighting and fire alarm was provided with links to the main Babraham control centre for the fire alarm, lighting and access control.
