About this Project
Project value: £91k
Duration: 5 weeks
The University of Kent were seeking to appoint a building contractor to undertake alterations and improvements to the existing Cornwallis Octagon Building to create better spaces for learning and welfare.
Works including:
- The whole building required new floor finishes.
- Entrance and stairway required repainting.
- Metalwork and new spaces were to be created using partitioning as well as demolishing existing partitioning.
- The existing kitchen was to be stripped and a new kitchen installed in a newly created space.
- All affected services were to be adapted for the new spaces and all new walls finished to a high standard.
These relatively minor alterations have had a major impact on the staff’s ability to use this building to its full potential, accommodating more students and providing more appropriate learning and break out space.
