In February 2019 the Bio Molecular Sciences (BMS) Building suffered a fire which spread into a number of laboratory areas. The efforts to extinguish the fire resulted in significant water damage to all areas and systems within the building.
The reinstatement project will be delivered in 2 phases. Phase 1 comprises the Curtain Walling and Roof repairs necessary to provide a dry “shell” ready for fitting out. Phase 2 comprises the “fit out” works. Phase 1 is under way and does not form part of this contract.
The brief is clear; the reinstated BMS building needs to provide a recognisable Biology “front door”, providing World Leading research, teaching and breakout facilities in a warm and welcoming building. Importantly the building entrance needs to reflect this. The strategy for the reinstated BMS building is summarised below:
Level 1 – Biology research, slightly reconfigured
Level 2 – Biology research, slightly reconfigured
Level 3 – Biology teaching, largely reconfigured to accommodate new function.
Level 4 – Chemistry / Biology research, slightly reconfigured
