Initial Conundrums
We had no idea of final headcount
We had no idea of what was needed – apart from more space!
We had no real idea of the budget allowance
We had been given a “challenging” timeline
The facility was not fit for our purpose
“Blocked” design in terms of light
Interim space was also required
9
The Project (I)
Professional team assembled
Cost plus contract (not my favourite)
Project split into 2 phases
(I) The strip out> 140 fume cupboards> All of the lab furniture> Modular office/meeting rooms> Lab frontage> Flooring> Ceilings
10
The Project (II)
(II) The fit out design
> Developed in parallel with the strip out (and beyond!)
> Based round flexibility, innovation and interaction of staff
> Was phased according to business and scientific priority
> Executed round existing laboratory envelopes
> Opened up “blocked” areas
> Maximised atria usage
11
Major Issues During Construction
Design was done “on the fly”
M & E design could not keep up with the programme
Sticking to the programme once it was set
Scientific priorities changed so the design had to keep up with those changes
Merger with MedImmune part way through!
Budget
Co ordination

Major Issues From Base Build (I)
Some core facilities inadequate for our purposes
Meeting rooms
Catering facility
As built often did not match record drawings
Light penetration from technical corridor to labs poor
Circulation distances were long
Large atria, not efficient use of space, or particularly liked
13
Major Issues From Base Build (II)
IT infrastructure not compatible
Security strategy was inadequate for our risk profile
Access controls not compatible
Control systems
Existing plant specification was often wrong for our purposes

Summary
Re furbishing an existing facility saved about 18 months
Just because its labs doesn’t mean it’s fit for purpose
Base build didn’t match our design philosophy
Cost control was difficult on a cost plus contract
Doing it quickly increased stress levels of everyone
The end result is a tribute to the professionalism of the teams
The customers love it!
