Desks were grouped into clusters with acoustic ceiling rafts suspended overhead to contain noise. Booth seating was located off the circulation area surrounding the central core to allow informal meetings and collaboration off the open plan area. Careful and detailed coordination of all services was required to ensure maximum head height and clear uncomplicated lines of sight throughout. Construction consisted of the formation of all new rooms, installation of glazed screens, removing and exposing the ceilings, new flooring, wall and ceiling finishes along with works to the existing mechanical and electrical servicing to suit the new layout. Particular consideration was given to the acoustics both within the open plan and cellular spaces as this was a particular focus for Ellucian. During the initial stages of the project on site, lockdown occurred as a result of COVID-19 putting a halt to the programme. During this period, design and procurement continued along with the team putting in place procedures to counteract the spread of COVID-19 once the site re-opened. The adoption of our SMART innovative processes was of particular benefit to this project, ensuring open and transparent collaboration and real time information was shared with key decision makers who were largely based in the US and unable to travel due to the impact of COVID-19. Live and up to date information was available to them 24/7. The team kept Ellucian in the loop of progress with daily/weekly progress photos uploaded to our digital management platform.
