Contract Value: £12.3M

Brief Description:  

The new build Center for Molecular Pathology laboratory spaces provide specific accommodation for histopathology, together with a number of generic laboratories. The scheme brings together two organisations; The Royal Marsden and ICR (Institute of Cancer Research).

The works comprised the erection of a two storey building with basement and roof level plant accommodation with an inner courtyard to provide a translational research centre together with forty four (44) car parking spaces, cycle and motor cycle facilities. The new building was located on a sloping site.

The building was constructed as a reinforced concrete framed construction comprising two floors over a semi basement on the lower ground floor.  The lower floor contains major plant items, electrical sub-station. Further plant space was located within enclosed plantrooms at second floor roof level.

In addition to the typical external works requirements of a project of this nature, due consideration was given to SUDs (Sustainable Urban Drainage systems). Areas of the parking were constructed with a porous asphalt to reduce the amount of surface water run-off. The remaining run-off was then conveyed to a proprietary cellular storage and infiltration system.

The drainage design and SUDs methods adopted helped the project achieve the required BREEAM scoring.
