This project at Brunel University involved the refurbishment of a previously

unused section of the Joseph Lowe Building to transform it into a state of

the art concrete and tarmac research facility. The remainder of the building

remained in occupation throughout the works, which included:

• The filling of existing openings and creation of several new ones to

dramatically alter the buildings internal layout

• New resin flooring throughout

• Removal of previously unidentified asbestos from existing window blocks

• New roofing, windows and doors to the entire Joseph Lowe Building

• Fitting of fixed furniture including lab desks and shelving

• Data fit out including a new electronic card reader access system

A large proportion of the project was mechanical and electrical installations,

the specialist nature of the buildings use required high specification

extraction and air intake equipment to be fitted throughout the 5 laboratories,

this included the installation of 3 fume cupboards in the Chemical Project

Laboratory.

The laboratories also required new floor drainage and a significant amount of

insulation to facilitate strict temperature controlled research environments.
