Major university refurbishment is well underway
Henry Brothers and Franklin Ellis Architects, both Chamber members, have announced that work has begun on the second phase of Chamber strategic partner Loughborough University’s major refurbishment of its existing science buildings. The £30m refurbishment, which
is being delivered by Nottingham- based construction company Henry Brothers, is due for completion in summer 2019. The refurbishment works will see the university’s W and S buildings converted to provide new laboratories, offices, lecture rooms and ancillary student spaces at its West Park Campus. Over the course of the past six
months, since phase one began, W building has had a newly- constructed entrance, fully refurbished physics, chemistry, tribology and acoustics laboratories and a new architectural studio space installed. Phase one is due for completion in January 2018.
Phase two of the works, which
has just begun, will include the installation of a new entrance to the S building and refurbished research laboratories and teaching facilities. Nottingham-based Franklin Ellis
Architects is providing architectural services for the scheme on behalf of construction company Henry Brothers. Prior to the redevelopment works, the W and S buildings housed lecture theatres, classrooms and ancillary accommodation. Phase two of the works will also
see an overhaul of the mechanical and electrical services of the building. The refurbishment works is the
third project win for Henry Brothers with the university since the firm opened its Midlands office in January 2015. Andy Dowding, Partner at
Franklin Ellis Architects, said: “We are now six months into the redevelopment of Loughborough
L-R: Jim Henry, Project Manager at Henry Brothers Midlands; Andy Dowding, Partner at Franklin Ellis Architects and Ian Taylor, Managing Director at Henry Brothers Midlands
University’s science buildings and it is fantastic to see the progress so far and to now be working on phase two of the scheme. This project will provide 21st Century,
high-end learning facilities and social spaces for students to enjoy for years to come.” Ian Taylor, Henry Brothers Midlands Managing Director, said:
