Service: Office Refurbishment
Location: London
Duration:12 Weeks
The reason we won this project for The British Library was due to our costs compared to other main contractors. They also really liked and could see the benefit of everything being taken care of under one roof.
The British Library is the national library of the UK and gives access to the world’s most comprehensive research collection. They have a collection of over 170 million items which include artefacts from every age of written civilisation. They keep the nation’s archive of printed and digital publications, and they add around 3 million new items to their collections each year.
The Planning Stage
Our client had a real vision of what they wanted to create. They wanted to expand their existing learning centre, to be bigger and better than it already was.
The Project
The project was busy from the get go, with the need for mechanical engineering to be deeply involved with the heating, ventilation and air conditioning that was required. Our office refurbishment service was the perfect solution for this project.
The British Library specifically wanted acoustic panelling created for the room which we sourced from a specialist joinery company.
Acoustic panels are large, soft-furnished panels that can be strategically placed within rooms to improve sound quality. Our client wanted these fitted because the Learning Centre can sometimes become quite noisy with different classes taking place, so having these panels installed means that the noise is mitigated and the sound diffused.
Below is a list of the scope of works we completed for this office refurbishment in Central London:
- Strip Out & Demolition Works
- Builders Works
- Specialist Joinery
- Electrical Works
- Data, Telecommunications, Fire Detection & AV Installations
- HVAC Installation
- Decoration
- Signage & Graphics
- Doors/Frames
- Tiled Flooring
- Install Corian Splashback
- Supply & Fit Tea Point
The Solution
Modern, colourful chairs were used to create a fun but professional vibe, with matching colourful coat hooks. The use of the acoustic panels have exceeded their purpose.
The British Library was very pleased with the end result. The expansion of their Learning Centre that was achieved was just how they envisioned it.
We have worked with a range of different clients on their office refurbishment projects over the years – all from different sectors. We have customers based in Central London, Birmingham, Manchester and Reading, as well as across the UK. Please get in touch if you have any questions – we’re happy to help!
