Pascall+Watson have been engaged at Queen Mary University of London for the past decade, working on campus upgrades to their Engineering Building and adjacent spaces.  Our consistent presence has brought continuity of knowledge and expertise to the overall scheme. 

Project 8 – the ‘Green Energy Hub’ – was constructed for the School of Engineering and Material Science (SEMS). This high-quality wet lab provides cutting-edge facilities for academics to advance their research in fostering innovation and sustainability in green energy research. The widespread global adoption of Net Zero targets is important for driving climate action and keeping global warming below 1.5°C. Deep cuts to emissions and the removal of atmospheric greenhouse gases are necessary to achieve this target, and will undoubtedly require innovation. 

Previously a central teaching space, the complex refurbishment now provides an Analytical Lab with black-out facility, a main Green Energy lab with gloveboxes, fume cupboards and flexible laboratory benching, and an additional Robotics Maker Space with soldering stations, 3D printing facilities and a fume hood. Together the ‘Green Energy Hub’ suite represents another milestone in our longstanding relationship with QMUL. 

All of the refurbishment projects at the Engineering building look to provide enhanced connectivity between laboratories and teaching spaces, not only for improved safety visibility, but also to foster collaboration between the students.
