Workplace design consultancy Space Solutions has undertaken a contract for the University of Glasgow to relocate its research centre.
The relocation saw academic and research staff from around 15 campus and city locations move into one new building: The Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre.
The project also involved moving valuable lab equipment including mass spectrometers, microscopes, optical tables, x-ray machines and 3D printers.
Mo Gillespie, head of Space's move and change management team, commented: “This project was of huge significance given the high profile of the new ARC facility, and of the valuable and specialist nature of the work undertaken there.
“With a highly complex move planning and preparation period spanning across more than 2.5 years - including during full lockdown - and daily on-site move supervision over a five-month period, this is a project of which we are immensely proud.”
Sharon De Sykes, senior project manager at Glasgow University, said: “The team at Space went above and beyond to deliver this complex project.
“Their attention to detail and understanding of our research ensured down-time was kept to a minimum and that our essential work could resume as quickly as possible.”
The Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre is the University of Glasgow’s new home for research excellence. Built to house the University’s research community, the flagship building aims to foster collaboration and cross-disciplinary research.
Space Solutions was established in Aberdeen in 1997 and it now also has offices in Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow, Livingston and London.
The company works across all sectors including private, public and government, charity, industrial, education and health environments.
