Having previously worked for LCA in London, we were engaged to support them with a Feasibility Study and PM services for a new Campus of University of Bolton in Manchester.
We investigated 3 short-listed buildings across Manchester city centre and the Salford area, only to confirm that none were appropriate. We then worked with a local developer to identify a suitable location. The Base Building was short-listed and we extended our feasibility study to encompass this 4th location. Using the same brief we provided new space plans, fire strategy and M&E investigation to confirm its suitability.
The Base building was close to Manchester’s main university campus, with associated amenities and transport links, and the building provided 34Ksqft of office space. A change of use was required to F1 use with upgraded toilet and shower facilities, a supplemented/part new M&E installation and a new fire escape to support proposed occupation levels. The space plans were used with a performance specification for a D&B tender and this was managed thought the tender phase. Proposed designs were presented and a successful contractor was engaged and we managed the construction through to completion
