We are thrilled to have reached practical completion at the Crick, where we have delivered an ambitious ‘Skylab’, a highly-technical and complex build to provide an additional two floors of laboratory and office space – on the 8th floor rooftop of the Francis Crick Institute, in-between the iconic canopies.

This has been a truly inspirational project to be involved with, requiring diligent technical and logistical planning from the outset and extremely close collaboration throughout. It’s great to see the Skylab built, operating and providing space for science.
Remaining operational 24/7, 365 days a year, with 1500 staff, including 1250 scientists running critical, highly-sensitive experiments 24/7, the project required in-depth collaborative planning and ongoing communication to ensure that operations remained ‘business as usual’. In-line with the Crick’s ethos, sustainability has also been a key priority and the project has been designed and built to achieve a ‘Gold’ SKA rating.
