Brief Description of Requirement:

The LMB is seeking a specialist contractor to undertake works to the LMB's reception area. The works are designed to open out the available space and create a new dedicated exhibition area that will showcase the LMB's unique and prestigious history. This will help with public engagement activities, widening the public understanding of the scientific achievements of the laboratory.

Drawings defining the scope of the works are included within the tender pack.

As a high-level description, the works involve the removal of a number of double height single skin Shuco façade panels and mullions to reveal underlying structural steels and then replacing these panels with a new single height glazed system encased within a new steel "goal-post" arrangement to aesthetically match the main entrance to the building in the reception area.

The single skin glazing (Planet Partitioning or equal approved) within the goal-post will also include an electrically driven sliding glass door (Dorma or equal approved).

Various supplementary façade panels will be required to be installed to "make good" areas that previously interfaced with the removed double height façade. The works also include the removal of a single height glazed partition currently enclosing a meeting room.

The contractor will be responsible for design elements not specified within the architectural scheme including structural engineering design for the steel goal-post arrangement and fixings.

The contractor is required to separate out the working space to facilitate the delivery of these works from the LMB's main reception area to allow as far as possible, the reception area to be unaffected by the works and normal business operations to continue.

Builders works associated with making good ceiling and floors following the removal of the double height façade will be the responsibility of the Client to arrange
