The Works comprised the partial demolition, alteration, refurbishment and extension of the existing Science Building which was originally constructed in 1937. The new building provided new science laboratories, a 184 seat lecture theatre and a rooftop observatory. The feature of the building is the new circular extension with upper storey curtain walling lit by feature LED lighting. A bespoke piece of art reflecting the periodic table was added as a centre piece to the building to blend in with the science theme. Each box contains products or a link to the element they represen, the inert gases have their periodic letters illuminated meaning each element produces a different colour.

The project was phased to allow existing teaching spaces to be utilised during the works which dictated close coordination between the Client and build team.
