The University of Bristol required extensive refurbishment across four upper floors of Senate House, with a fixed budget and a tight 16-week schedule.
The challenge was to create a series of functional and welcoming spaces, including:
While using our extensive experience of working within live environments minimisingdisruption to the live lower ground-floor hospitality space and first-floor reception.
Coordination was crucial as the project timeline coincided with key university events, including open days and exams.
We adopted a collaborative approach, working closely with the client stakeholders, project team, and supply chain partners.
Careful planning and coordination with the University allowed us to deliver the project within the fixed budget and tight timeline, including out-of-hours and weekend work to meet the deadline.
The refurbishment involved the strip out of areas refurbished and extensive M&E upgrades, including life safety systems and access control.
We built new partitions to create distinct spaces and refurbished parquet flooring alongside installing vinyl and carpet tiles.
New door sets, glazed partitions, and bespoke furniture were fitted with decorative finishes.
Special features included creating a sensory room with specialist equipment and installing AV systems. To enhance the user experience, bespoke graphics and standardised wayfinding were integrated throughout the entire building.
The project was completed on time in September 2021, ready for the start of the academic term.
The refurbished spaces met the University’s goals, providing functional, welcoming environments for students and staff.
Despite the complexity of the work, the project was delivered within budget and to a high standard of quality.
