The footprint comprises an ‘L-Shaped’ building on Plot 9 of the BioQuarter. It has a single storey reception area with adjacent central lift and stair core incorporating toilets, showers and fire fighting provision and two separate side cores for fire escape. The following functions are accommodated within the building: Ground Floor: Entrance and reception on the south facing elevation at main core. The reception will have a manned reception desk with a seating waiting area. The reception area leads directly on to a social/restaurant area. Adjacent to this social area are a number of bookable meeting rooms and a building management office. The remainder of the ground floor plan is given over to the BioIncubator. This area is made up of a series of laboratories and offices fitted out for immediate or early occupation of incoming tenants. At the south end of the BioIncubator is a loading area that includes waste segregation, gas bottle storage, a common Liquid Nitrogen Room and a number of other caged stores. First and Second Floors: These floors have been designed to accommodate both laboratory and office facilities. The mechanical and electrical design has been based on a notional 60/40 split between labs and offices. At the completion of the shell and core works, with the exception of the core and stair areas these areas have been left as a basic shell with no walls, floors or ceilings. This provides maximum flexibility for incoming tenants. A series of vertical risers have been installed on these floors. These provide a vertical route to the roof for services for tenants in the floor(s) below. Access will be required to these ducts by these tenants. Design Criteria Key building dimensions are as follows: Level Structural Slab to Slab (mm) Typical clear height (mm) Ground Floor First Floor Second Floor 5000 5000 5000 2700 (corridors), 3000 (rooms) 4100 to u/s of steel 4100 to u/s of steel Floor Build Up (mm) 300 300 300 The typical clear height is measured from the surface of the notional finished floor level to finished ceiling surface or underside of lowest steel beam. The building is designed on a nominal space planning module of 1650mm with both the curtain walling grid and suspended ceiling in the BioIncubator planned accordingly. This module is based on a 3300m laboratory layout with two 800mm wide benches and 1560mm space between. This allows a 140mm zone for walls. Sustainability: The building has achieved a ‘very good’ BREEAM rating but to maintain this rating each tenant has to comply with a number of specification items. Also the building has been designed to achieve an air permeability rating of 2.0m3/hr/m2 at 50 pascals test pressure differential. In fact a tested air tightness rating of 1.42 m3/hr/m2 has been obtained. Any penetrations of the external fabric by either landlord or tenant should ensure that the latter air tightness figure is not increased. Acoustic Criteria: The laboratory accommodation is designed to achieve a maximum noise criterion of NR34 from the base building service installations, NR35 for offices and NR45 for lavatories. A minimum sound insulation of 51dN has been specified for the core and BioIncubator. WC Design Occupancy Standards: Toilet accommodation is designed on the basis of occupancy based on 40% offices and 60% laboratories. This assumed a potential 60%/60% split between female and male occupancy. An enclosed (not roofed) plant enclosure has been formed to locate both the landlord’s and tenant’s plant. This area has been zoned accordingly to tie up with notional tenant zones in the three floors below. 4 2.00 Structure 3.00 External Building Fabric 2.01 Dead Loads In addition to the self weight of the structure, allowances will be made for building finishes and fit out loads. For details on the current dead load assumptions see table below. There are four cladding types on the building: 1. Structural silicon glazing on the north elevation and on the reception entrance screen. This includes the formation of two ‘pop-outs’ on the elevation. Each of these pop-outs has glazed lids. 2. Curtain Walling. The glazed elevations on the remainder of the building will be formed from a powder coated curtain walling system. Within this overall elevational treatment there is a mixture of glazed and solid elements. The glazed sections will have high performance glass with look-a-like panels at floor levels and dot matrix sand blasted onto the glass from floor level to the first transom to screen desks and lab fitments. The solid elements of the curtain walling will be achieved using insulated panels and concealed fixed-metal cassette panels. 3. Rainscreen Cladding. This occurs on the solid gable ends on the east and west elevations of the northern part of the building. This consists of a powder coated metal cassette panel fixed to a blockwork cavity with insulation and damp-proof barriers fixed to the outside of the blockwork. 4. Reglit Screening. At roof level the plant is to be screened by a four meter high barrier. Generally this screen is formed using a translucent ‘Reglit’ glazing system. The translucency will help to reduce heaviness of this screening while gaps at the bottom of the Reglit will allow improved cross ventilation of the rooftop plant. Dead Load Allowances Building Area Element Loading Allowance Office Floors, Laboratories Floor Finishes 1.80kN/m2 Ceilings & Services 1.00kN/m2 Roof finishes 0.50kN/m2 Roof 2.02 Imposed Loads The following live loads have been assumed in the design.

However cleaning and maintaining the top of ‘pop-out’ boxes on North West Elevation will require access by cherry pickers. A hardstanding around all perimeters of the building is provided that will cater for cherry picker access to all points if required. 2.03 Wind Loads Design wind loads in accordance with BS6399 Part 2 1997, basic wind speed 24m/sec. 5 4.00 Reception Area The reception area is a single storey space, ten metres deep and twelve metres wide. Immediately through the glazed revolving doors is a tiled circulation area which links through to the social spaces beyond. Adjacent to this tiled area there is a tiled area with reception desk and a seated waiting area. The walls are general painted plasterboard with feature painted timber panelling. The ceilings are plasterboard with a suspended lacquer painted bulkhead over the reception and waiting area and a series of timbers slats with a slot over the entrance and through to the cafeteria. Floors: Large format dark grey ceramic tiling and Junckers hardwood flooring. Walls: Painted plasterboard and lacquer painted timber panelling.

The most common will be where a tenant takes just a proportion of the space within another option being a tenant takes the whole of the floorplate. In both instances the landlord expects the tenant to fit the space out to a similar standard to the rest of the building and will require to sign off the design proposals at an early stage to ensure that this occurs. In the case where the tenant is only taking a part of the floor plate then ant fabric facing the common corridors should match that already in the building. This includes: Doors: These should either be hardwood veneer to match the core doors or glass doors to match the partitioning system. Plasterboard Walls are to provide an acoustic rating of NR35 for offices and NR34 for lavatories. Walls will be painted in emulsion white paint (Diamond Matt). Glazed Partitions: Shall match those in the Incubator on the ground floor. Inside the tenants space the tenant will have more design freedom but they must avoid the following: Partitions must align with window mullions. Where this is difficult then on offset in the wall should be created to ensure that the wall connect with a mullion. This offset must be no closer than 500mm from the back face of the mullion Signage; Any signage provided by the tenant must be approved by the Landlord. In multi-tenant floors the signage into the unit shall be common throughout the floor plate and shall match that as installed in the Incubator on the ground floor. No signs will be permitted on the glazing within the external elevations. The shell and core and incubator fit-out of the building have obtained a ‘very good’ BREEAM Rating. However a requirement of this approval is that all future fit-outs will comply with a number of specification items. These are described in a separate document. 16.03 Building Services (ARUP) In order to satisfy building control, BREEAM and the base build services provision various constraints are placed on the Building Services which may be installed within the tenant fit out areas.
