Arup ’ s projects range from major science campus facilities to specialist laboratories , clean rooms and facility upgrades . For high containment facilities , for example , Arup provides a full range of specialist design services including risk assessment .
In order to remain at the forefront of science , our clients need to balance a variety of challenges . Arup recognises these challenges and supports our clients in their goals :
• Continuing new product development
• Improved efficiency of the science process
• Adaptability of space for a variety of science activities
• Recruitment and retention of great staff
• Development of a creative community and workplace
• Pressure on CAPEX and OPEX cost and consolidations in the industry
• Sustainability and energy efficiency .
SUSTAINABLE FACILITIES Beginning with high performance façade systems , we achieve optimum energy efficiency by incorporating sustainable design solutions such as low face velocity and sash management of fume cupboards , variable volume systems with applied diversities and night-time setback . The Sainsbury Laboratory at University of Cambridge involved detailed energy analyses and liaison with the local council and meant the requirements of 10 % of on-site renewables were met early in the planning process and a bespoke BREEAM “ Excellent ” EPC B rating awarded .
The Francis Crick Institute is one of the first buildings of any type to be subject to the 2010 energy regulations which ordered an average 25 % reduction in carbon levels from the 2006 levels . It is also intended to train and inspire the next generation of scientists and will host some 1,500 research staff , making this one of Europe ’ s largest centres of biomedical research .
Biopharma work is specialised and needs an innovative approach to problem solving , coupled with meticulous attention to detail . At Arup we have developed a considerable understanding of the business , particularly regarding the delivery of large-scale , complex fast-track manufacturing facilities . Arup has strong relationships with large scale pharmaceutical clients such as GSK , Novartis and AstraZeneca . Arup is currently providing Project Management services for the new AstraZenenca Headquarters location in Cambridge , UK . Arup has also designed some of the
most technically demanding projects within the science domain . During LinAc , National Physical Laboratory , Arup combined the complex structural design of a concrete bunker to house a Linear Accelerator with precise temperature and humidity control (± 0.1 ° C ). The intention was to maintain ideal conditions for repeatability of experiments for calibration .
On DUSEL ( Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory )/ Sanford Underground Research Facility , Arup combined proficiency in laboratory design with expertise in geotechnics and tunnel engineering to provide an advanced research facility 7,400 feet underground .
With ever expanding new technologies and research processes , laboratories have to constantly adapt . Arup recognises this challenge and provides an innovation solution in modular design . Our adaptable laboratories incorporate moveable furniture , benching and partitions to create multiple layout options . During construction of The Sainsbury Wellcome Trust the end user of the building was yet to be confirmed so planning an adaptable laboratory space called for a truly innovative design . The multi-disciplinary team provided a full range of technical advice and solutions for a flexible , cost effective and energy efficient laboratory . ■
