The firm provided all the electrical, mechanical and water distribution services for the 'super green' Life Sciences building at the University of Bristol.
The £56.5m development is expected to cement the university's role as a favoured filming location for Sir David Attenborough and the BBC Natural History Unit.
The 13,580 sq m new build will house the School of Biological Sciences and colleague from other disciplines working in the field of life sciences. Split into three zones, the structure includes a five-storey laboratory wing, a double-height plant room and greenhouses for plant studies.

A central atrium, leads to both the laboratory wing and a five-storey office wing containing administration, computer facilities, seminar rooms and a café.
A fully collaborative approach saw NG Bailey's engineering, IT services and offsite manufacture divisions working together to complete a full scope of mechanical and electrical services, alongside main contractor Vinci Construction UK.
Works included the installation of all electrical systems for the building including CCTV and intruder detection, lighting control, and intercom systems as well as ensuring all the needs of people with disabilities were met.
The new building's low impact design meant specialists from NG Bailey were also tasked with installing a system to collect rain water to be used to flush toilets, and solar panels to heat the building's water.
