Live Environment: The works took place during the summer term break, but the site remained partially occupied by staff and other contractors. This required clear segregation, constant monitoring, and robust access controls to ensure the safety of all campus users.
Restricted Access & Urban Setting: Located within a busy residential area, delivery logistics had to be carefully planned to avoid disruption. Access routes were narrow and frequently used by buses and local traffic.
Service Coordination: The building’s services infrastructure required careful disconnection and reconnection without interrupting essential services to adjacent buildings. All systems were treated as live until confirmed otherwise.
Sensitive Neighbour Relations: The site bordered public areas and was used by local residents throughout the week, requiring proactive communication and minimisation of noise, dust, and disruption.
