Ardmac has recently been appointed under a JCT D&B contract by Unilever UK to undertake the full refurbishment and extension of their Research and Development Facility at Port Sunlight. The works include a new build entrance reception, formation of a glazed ‘Quad’ to house a restaurant and hub, new laboratory area with specialist gases (housing a
central research facility) and a new customer appraisal and product testing area. Arcadis is leading Unilever’s estate rationalisation and are acting in the capacity of PM and cost consultants. DLA architecture and Curtins structural engineering have been novated over to Ardmac and the works will take place over 36 weeks whilst the facility remains in
operation with live services and site wide traffic movement . As part of the tender process Ardmac has worked closely with the client to understand their operational needs and develop the design with value engineering whilst maintaining all the technical requirements and architectural design intent.
The project is to take the Cat A status of ‘Offices 1 and 2’ and deliver a ‘turnkey’ Cat B solution to enable occupation by Croda immediately following completion. The intent is to create a high specification office environment for staff and visitors which aligns with the Croda’s values.
Office 1 is the main reception and office facility and will include a staff canteen/breakout space and meeting/training facility on the ground floor with offices and meeting spaces on the upper floors. Office 2 will house a sampling and re-packing area on the ground floor together with driver’s reception
and welfare facilities. Office accommodation is to be located on the first floor together with a fallow area.
