Work has completed on Kadans Science Partner’s MAYDE, 5-10 Brandon Road life sciences facility in the heart of London’s Knowledge Quarter.
The 114,000 sq ft development provides high-spec laboratories, light industrial spaces, offices and communal areas over five storeys.
The development involved the demolition of existing facilities and the creation of a new building featuring a double-height reception, mezzanine, barista bar, single-level basement with plant space, cycle storage and tenant amenities.
The project team comprised David Miller Architects, construction company Morgan Sindall and HDR, which provided comprehensive civil and structural design and geo-environmental services.
Andrew Dickenson, divisional director at HDR, said: “The completion of MAYDE, 5-10 Brandon Road marks a significant step in the growth of the pioneering Knowledge Quarter, supporting London’s burgeoning life sciences sector. This ambitious project presented unique challenges inherent to working within a constrained urban environment, allowing HDR to demonstrate its expertise in finding innovative solutions, integrating advanced design and construction techniques, whilst delivering high-specification projects that are both agile and future-proofed.
“We are excited to continue our collaboration with Kadans and to help shape the built environment dedicated to knowledge, life sciences and innovation in the 21st century.”
