About the Project:

Work carried out by O’Brien

The Construction of a new high-tech workshop/Laboratory and two temporary lecture theatre blocks on the Headington Campus at Oxford Brookes University.

The new Workshop/Laboratory project comprises ground modelling works, a retaining wall running the full-length of the site with associated steps, foundations including a lift pit and several service pits, drainage works including internal and external Aco channels and connection to the existing mains sewer. The ground floor slab (approximately 600m2 GFA) incorporates a SIKA Metaltop finish and two upper floors and a roof structure that required reinforced structural concrete toppings. The project was completed with the installation of all external finishes to the perimeter of the building.

The temporary lecture blocks required ground clearance, construction of concrete piers (to support the units) and all associated services and drainage connected to existing systems. The works were completed with resurfacing works to match existing.

Great care had to be taken with the University’s requirements regarding the existing trees (TPO orders on many trees on site), University daily operations, the fact that Oxford Brookes is a working university and therefore noise was a big issue, the on-site movements of plant & materials with regard to safety and general operative behaviour towards staff and students. O’Brien’s pride themselves in their ability to perform under the most exacting requirements and these projects at Oxford Brookes University demonstrated this fact.
