EMCOR Engineering Services provided the mechanical and electrical services installation to the Sciences Complex at the University of Sunderland Campus. The complex consists of four separate buildings joined at the first floor by link bridges. The four buildings are identified as Darwin, Dale, Pasteur, (each with two floors & plant rooms), and Fleming (three floors & plant room).
The project included the refurbishment of the existing teaching and laboratory spaces and extensive external landscaping to create a centre-piece outdoor relaxation venue. This involved the complete renewal of the existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing installations including fume cupboards and associated ventilation, specialist gases, drainage and new boiler plant.

BACKGROUND
Following the successful completion of both the City Space and City Studio schemes, the Sciences Complex is the third project successfully delivered by Morgan Sindall and EMCOR Engineering Services for the University of Sunderland as part of their ongoing campus redevelopment.
OBJECTIVES
The Sciences Complex was run as a ‘Perfect Delivery’ project by the Principal Contractor and all specialist contractors used the four cornerstones; ‘On Time’, ‘Delighted Client’, ‘Snag Free’ and ‘completed O&M Manuals’, to focus and drive the project to its successful conclusion.
SOLUTIONS
Following the successful completion of the Campus City Space project, EMCOR Engineering Services were re-employed to work closely with both the universities and main contractors design and construction teams at a very early stage. This aided in ensuring that both the cost plan and design were managed robustly and that the very challenging build programme was met.
The client expressed their delight with the installation which can be seen on our Customer Care Reports.
“Its been a great team and we wouldn’t be where we are today without you.”

“You worked very well, if it wasn’t for your team being so proactive we wouldn’t be where we are now.”
-Martin Shaw, Project Manager, University of Sunderland
