The University of Edinburgh wishes to appoint a Main Contractor for the construction of the 11 storey Darwin tower comprehensive remodelling and extension to create a circa 16 500 sqm research building containing specialist research labs; generic primary and secondary wet and dry labs with associated write up spaces. The works include a 3 storey extension housing a lecture theatre, seminar spaces meeting rooms and a cafe.
Our existing tower was vacated in September 2015 and the plan is that we will commence stripping the asbestos out of the Darwin Building in July 2016 with a planned completion 18 months later. It is then hoped that the tower can be fully re-clad using a double-skin cladding system to greatly enhance both the building's appearance and energy performance. The building will also be totally refurbished to provide approximately 16 500 sqm of high-quality research space. It is envisaged that the Darwin Building will be ready for re-occupation in Autumn 2020.
This refurbishment will dramatically improve space efficiency and occupancy capacity for the Darwin Building. Along with some reorganisation of activity in adjacent buildings in this complex, the project will provide state-of-the-art research facilities.
