Our early involvement was required to convert 85 Gray’s Inn Road from a 1990s office building to a modern life sciences hub in the central London district of Bloomsbury. Our experience of retrofitting existing structures for enhanced uses combined with our holistic approach to dynamic analysis of the existing construction helped our client limit costs.

In the early stages, we were able to illustrate where the existing structure was suitable for sensitive equipment and where it could be easily adapted for more significant M&E services. With our input, the test layout floor schemes were driven by limiting structural enhancement and working with the existing building form leading to an agreed and understood middle ground on adaptability of the space, and project cost.

The adaptive reuse of a retail warehouse into 65,000 ft² of purpose-built laboratory and office building in Central Oxford. A new mezzanine floor forms the office space within the existing building, and the ground floor area has been adapted into wet laboratory space. Extensions to the front and back of the building created a new modern facade and increased the footprint of the site.

As Inventa sits on a fluvial floodplain, our Development Infrastructure team's early involvement and liaising with local authorities was key to developing the massing and appropriate solution to the project.

The Press in Foxton is an ambitious project transforming a 7.8-acre site into a 100,000+ square feet science and innovation campus within the Cambridge Southern Cluster. The development, delivered through a three-phase masterplan, combines the sensitive repositioning of former printing press buildings with state-of-the-art new construction. 

Originally built in 1909, the site holds historical significance with its printing works and workers' houses along Station Road. The project aims to blend the old with the new, preserving historical elements while introducing modern infrastructure to create a unique hub for scientific research and technological innovation.
