Building 56 Human Performance Laboratory

Client: University of Southampton

Value: £0.6m

Location: Southampton

The complete decommissioning and partial demolition of the former west side boiler houses and conversion to a modern teaching facility housing the new Human Performance Laboratory. The completed facility included computer monitored gym equipment supported by an audio-visual equipped lecture area together with shower and locker facilities all located within an extremely spacious, unique and appealing working environment that would not have been available via new build project.

Externally the building benefited from new curtain walling to the south elevation and restoration of external landscaping. As part of the project, substantial quantities of redundant plant were decommissioned and removed without a single disruption to the major network of sensitive fibre optic, telephone and data services routed through the construction zone.
