SE Controls’ smoke ventilation provides safe environment at flagship research laboratory The Medical Research Council’s new £200m Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) is using an advanced smoke ventilation solution from smoke and natural ventilation systems specialist, SE Controls, to provide smoke-free escape routes for scientist, staff and visitors at the recently completed facility in Cambridge. Designed by RMJM architects and constructed by BAM construction, the LMB provides 27,000 m2
of usable space and is located adjacent
to Addenbrooke’s Hospital as part of the expanding Cambridge Biomedical Campus, a renowned global centre for excellence in biomedical research. Within its construction, the LMB uses a number of energy saving technologies and innovative solutions to provide heating, ventilation and solar shading, as well as cooling through a deep bore closed-loop geothermal system to meet the laboratory’s 1600 kW peak cooling demand. Within the extensive smoke ventilation system, SE Controls supplied 197 chain actuators with a 603 mm stroke length to operate smoke vents located throughout the building, together with controls for eight staircase smoke hatches. l Visit

The designer wanted external toilet
pods that were tightly curved, echoing the ovoid footprint of the overall building, and tiled in bright colours – a demanding brief for which Knauf Aquapanel Exterior was ideal. l Email
