Contractor Deeley Construction has completed work on a new extension to a laboratory at the University of Warwick in Coventry.
The firm has handed over the extension to the Millburn House based Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility after completing the £950,000 construction contract.
The single-storey extension features a lobby, plantroom and an NMR hall.
It will house the UK's first 1 GHz solid-state NMR spectrometer, which is built around an incredibly powerful magnet, that will be used by scientists from across the UK in research for a range of applications and industries including pharmaceuticals, drug delivery and materials research.
The whole project was made possible by £8 million from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) as part of a wider £20 million investment in the cutting-edge technology across the country.
Deeley Construction completed the project in a controlled environment due to the close proximity of the other academic departments. The wider project team included Ridge & Partners (employers' representative), BMJ Architects, CPW (consultant M&E design engineers) and Scott White & Hookins (structural engineers).
