Project Goal

A high technology business focused on developing the next generation of energy solutions for future transport.

We were tasked with a shell and core warehouse conversion, into a mixed office and dry laboratories based on the Harwell Campus.

Skills & Results

A stunning and highly engineered project involving a bespoke reception, offices, and laboratory fit-out.

Following selection via a tendering process, we delivered the premises for this high technology business. To reflect the business ambition, a spacious, full height reception area was created with an impressive staircase. Beyond the reception area, two floors comprising of labs on the ground and offices, meeting and breakout space on the first floor were constructed by the installation of the mezzanine floor. A ducted fume cupboard and other services were provided to serve the lab area, as part of this high-tech lab design.
