UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
We are currently working on a number of projects for UCL under a Framework Agreement. These include:
Ambrose Fleming Lecture Theatre & Fluids Laboratory
New lecture theatres at ground and first floor levels in existing 12 storey faculty building & refurbishment of fluids laboratory at basement level. The new teaching spaces are constructed by demolishing an existing double storey height lecture theatre and infilling the void with 2 new storeys. Our work included the provision of a detailed construction methodology with consideration given to site set up, access, sequencing and temporary works.

Feasibility studies and preliminary designs for the addition of 3 storeys to an existing building to house student residences. Work involves strengthening the existing building to support the weight of the additional storeys.

James Lighthill House
Built on the grounds of an existing hall of residence, the scheme provides new accommodation comprising 20 student study rooms with shared kitchen and dining facilitiies. The new block is sandwiched between a seven storey student accommodation block and a 6m boundary wall which forms the back of the new building. Built on a very tight urban site the project fits well with UCL’s strategy of maximising the use of existing sites.
