Technical requirements: The new Advanced Quantum Metrology Laboratory (AQML) will incorporate 4 no. specialised laboratories located on the ground floor. These Labs have stringent requirements for the control of temperature, humidity, vibration, acoustics and RF interference.
Via an atrium, this new building will adjoin the existing Darwin Building (Building 2), which is to be refurbished to incorporate 8 no. laboratories on the ground floor (incorporating 5 no with inner RF shielding) along with 2 no further floors of flexible office accommodation.
The site has been chosen due to its quiet position, which provides an excellent environment for delivery of many of the complex specifications for the laboratories. It is however on the boundary of Bushy Park Conservation Area and adjacent to Newton's Tree and Bushy House, a Grade II* building. The location is therefore sensitive in planning terms.
Within the design and construction of a high specification laboratory, design and construction need close integration. This is best served by appointing a single contractor who may choose to subcontract elements of both design and construction while retaining responsibility for delivery of the project.
