Designers appointed for £3m lab refurbishment
A design team has been appointed to the £3m refurbishment of Manchester University's chemistry department.
Leicester-based Pick Everard has been selected for the project. New teaching and research facilities are to be created in the existing chemistry building and the company said the building will provide carbon savings to reduce the university's carbon footprint.
Pick Everard partner Duncan Green said: "Our experience of educational buildings and on similarly technical projects at other universities and research units will be drawn upon in the design of this new facility It is an important project in the continuing delivery of world class research at Manchester University and we’re delighted to be involved."
The work is set to be carried out between May and September this year ready for the start of the next academic year. Pick Everard has previously been involved in educational projects at universities across the UK.
