BAM To Develop Science Park Office Block

BAM has been appointed to develop an office block at a science park in South West England.

The company will build a £6.5 million 2,500 square metre building as phase five of Plymouth Science Park.

The three storey development will provide facilities for science and technology businesses.

Features include modern office spaces and technology along with communal spaces for collaboration.

Solar panels will be installed on the roof as well as other sustainable measures such as rainwater harvesting, natural ventilation and wall insulation panels.

The development was designed by HLM.

Hydrick has been appointed as the structural and civil engineers with Hulley & Kirkwood as the services engineers.

By working closely with local planning officers and using a steel frame with Euroclad Vieo cladding, BAM has reduced the building programme by ten weeks.

Modern Building Information Modelling (BIM) will also be utilised.

Graham Kingdon, BAM's Construction Director, said: "BAM is delighted to be working on this exciting development for the thriving science sector in Plymouth.

"We have already worked hard to cut the length of the construction programme and to ensure the client’s ambitions for this development are fully met.

"We now look forward to working hard to ensure the scheme benefits the local economy and environment throughout its construction and end use."

The project is due to start in August and will be completed by summer 2016.
