replace its ‘Dippy’ the diplodocus exhibit with a skeleton of a blue whale, design and engineering expertise from air movement specialists, Gilberts Blackpool, provided a solution to balance all the elements. SVM, consulting engineers for the refurbishment of the 150 year-old Grade I listed Hintze Hall, aimed to revive, as far as possible, the original ventilation whilst taking advantage of new technology to deliver the optimum internal environment. As a result, SVM turned to Gilberts.

(computational fluid dynamic) modelling, Gilberts
manufactured and supplied 24 bespoke versions of its Mistrale Model A natural ventilation units, with a further 42 standard WHF50 high performance louvres to provide the required levels of fresh air intake and exhaust.
Each unit used a

damper, to fit within existing window apertures and frames, bolted together in specially- designed subframes, to avoid needing to fix into existing terracotta surrounds.
The units also had to provide the appropriate flow of fresh air into Hintze Hall, without allowing any natural light to permeate, and still look aesthetically pleasing. So Gilberts devised a combination of internal K40 fixed bar grilles and non vision cores mounted on the rear of the units. In a separate high level atrium, the original glass in the
window frames could be removed; there, the glazing was replaced with Gilberts’ WHF50 louvres to provide high level exhaust of the ’used’ internal air.
SVM Director, Paul Rushmer, said: “We had to find a non- invasive solution for the historic space, which stabilised the temperature and humidity. The original building drawings used passive solutions. We have past experience of working with Gilberts, and felt its dampers were particularly appropriate to helping develop a bespoke, sympathetic solution.”
The new R&D facility will be used to test and manufacture a non-addictive alternative to methadone, in order to improve patient experience on a global scale. Boulting Environmental Services was the principal designer and principal contractor for the project, carrying out a complete turnkey package that included groundwork, piling, shell construction and the internal specialist architectural fit out of cleanrooms and laboratories.

A full Home Office inspection was required after construction. The auditor not only gave the building approval, but referred to it as state-of-the-art.
“Boulting Environmental Services completed the project three months ahead of schedule, within budget and to the highest quality,” said Giles Singleton, Project Manager at Boulting Environmental Services. “This was down to our lean programming framework and our ability to overlap different phases of the project to eliminate wasted time.”
Indivior selected Boulting Environmental Services through a competitive tender process.
