ICL Estates – Nature of Recent Projects
•
In the late 1990’s/early 2000’s, ICL Estates delivered a number of
new buildings, particularly at South Kensington (incl. Business School,
Faculty Building, Sir Alexander Fleming Building).
•
Over the last 7-8 years, there has been greater focus on
refurbishment/conversion projects, normally in the £1M–£10M range.
•
ICL’s purchased a 25-acre site in White City in 2009, and instigated a
major masterplanning exercise to establish a new campus. Stage 1
(Wood Lane Studios, 500-bed student residences) completed in 2012.
•
Multidisciplinary research space will be created over the next few
years, for ICL scientists and engineers to tackle global challenges,
together with state-of-the-art space for translating research ideas into
direct applications and spin-out companies. Plans for the site include a
publicly accessible square, accommodation, leisure and retail facilities,
a conference centre, and homes.
