Introduction
We repurposed an existing, occupied building into a new high-tech medical research and development facility for cell therapy science.
Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult is a place where academics, businesses and clinicians, with a special interest in cell therapies, work together to focus on the commercial development of cutting-edge technologies in cell therapy.
The project
We created a high-end laboratory facility, designed and constructed to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, complete with a dedicated plant room that delivers bespoke services to support the space.
The facility’s unique mixed-use environment incorporates open plan office space, meeting rooms, a kitchen area and a high-spec research laboratory.
The scheme also accommodates areas for write up and administration work, with a floor-to-ceiling viewing area over the laboratory and a new reception area, board room and cellular meeting facilities.
The facility caters for 100 people and is located on the 12th floor of the 30-storey Tower Wing within Guy’s Hospital in London. All the floors within the building needed to remain operational throughout the project, which meant the project worked in a live hospital environment so critical clinical provisions could continue without disruption.
