The extraordinary, purpose built SuperLab in Oxford provides much needed lab space and fantastic facilities for the next generation of science entrepreneurs and innovators. The new state-of-the-art building is located close to the city centre and the university, which spins out around 15 science firms a year.
\u00a0
Created and built by Oxford-based\u00a0Robin Swailes\u00a0Design and Development, the SuperLab offers almost 7,000 sq ft of accommodation for up to 84 staff and blends contemporary design with the latest\u00a0efficiency features\u00a0while meeting the needs of the\u00a0modern\u00a0workforce. The building is made of 95 per cent recycled aluminium and features a grey water system using collected rainwater to flush the toilets, thermal efficient panelling, air source heat pumps and solar panels to minimise its carbon footprint and keep running costs as low as possible.
\u00a0
Metal Technology Ltd\u00a0supplied a range of its high-performance glazing products\u00a0for this unique development\u00a0via\u00a0approved fabricator\u00a0Alternative Windows.\u00a0Products used were:\u00a0System 17 Curtain Walling, System 5-35Hi Tilt Turn Windows, System 4-35Hi Fixed Casement Windows and System 10-35 Thermally Broken Commercial Doors.
\u00a0
Curved walls, round windows and open ceilings create a sense of space and wellbeing, topped off with advanced acoustics,\u00a0 quality finishing touches and a playful interior. The result is an inspiring and design-focused workplace that encourages collaboration. Outside, a roof top recreation area provides space for al fresco meetings, eating and drinking with views over Oxford\u2019s Dreaming Spires.
\u00a0
A fantastic project to have been involved in, which ultimately encourages young and innovative science pioneers to stay and further their career on home soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
