A unique hub for The University of Liverpool and Unilever to revolutionise materials chemistry and research development with unparalleled state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.
Higher Education - The North, England
The project provides a new innovation research hub for materials chemistry and formulation research facilities for use by the University and its academic/industrial partners. The building includes flexible specialist laboratories, offices and work spaces provide researchers with an open access ‘research hotel’ type of arrangement.
The works includes the construction of a four storey, 11,600 sqm BREEAM Excellent rated facility, in place of the demolished two storey lecture theatre.
We developed a sustainable structural solution to meet the future needs of the University. The proposed building comprises a reinforced insitu cast concrete frame supported off piled foundations and a piled suspended ground slab due to a layer of peat under the development site.

The state-of-the-art equipment and facilities necessitated a high performance specification from the building's structure.
The structure was designed with due regard to strict vibration and deflection criteria in accordance with the client’s performance ‘in use’ specification.
Key features:
Revit BIM that enabled us to quickly develop and present a number of cost efficient structural solutions.
Connections to the existing research facility with a glazed multi-storey steel link structure.
BREEAM Excellent
With a rich history of embracing cutting-edge technology, we lead the way in digital delivery. Accredited with the BSI BIM Kitemark, we collaborate in a digital environment using the latest industry tools, and continuously enhance our digital capabilities to add tangible value to our projects.
An award‑winning development at Munster Technological University, the Le Chéile Building strengthens student support, industry engagement, and innovation through a dynamic, interconnected 6,060 m² campus hub.
A major new state‑of‑the‑art STEM facility that will significantly expand the campus’s capacity to serve students.
A state-of-the-art research centre for the University of Sheffield.
A national centre of excellence for structural dynamics research, acoustics and vibration testing for the University of Sheffield.
Completed at the Institute of Art, Design & Technology (IADT), Dun Laoghaire, this project is part of the HEB 1 Bundle under Ireland’s Public Private Partnership (PPP) programme, encompassing six major higher education developments.
A new innovative 4,067m² Teaching building which includes classrooms, learning resource spaces, administration spaces and ancillary spaces. Together with decanted space elsewhere on campus, the new building will increase capacity of the TU Dublin at Blanchardstown by 824 students.
