Brief:
The brief was to provide Clean Room Facilities for the Optical Fibres and Micro-Electronics Departments, together with associated laboratory, teaching and office accommodation.

Design Solution:
Working within tight cost constraints, the scheme groups usable areas in terms of function, inter-relationships and servicing requirements. The resultant built form includes the Clean Room Building, connected by a single storey link, to the 4 storey teaching / laboratory block.

The clean rooms required bulk gasses, which were located in a separate storage compound, screened by a wall and landscaping.

Client: University of Southampton
Gross floor area: 6,700 sq. m
