OFFICE & SOCIAL SPACE REFURBISHMENT
A time-critical refurbishment project across 4 levels of the DICe Building located on Clarendon Street, Nottingham as part of the NTU City Campus.
The project brief was to significantly remodel the existing ground floor to provide a mixed office and student social and teaching environment to suit the needs of the proposed faculty end user whilst upgrading all existing teaching and circulation spaces throughout the building to provide a fit-for-purpose learning environment.
Delivery of this project was time critical as dates had already been set for the faculty end user to relocate from their existing building into DICe before project commencement and as such the completion date for works had to be met.
