Project overview
SDC was appointed to deliver two new buildings – Quad One and the Pavilion. Quad One is a linear block that comprises three-storeys of accommodation for small and medium enterprises. Housing offices, laboratories and meeting spaces, the primary function of the building is to provide flexible research facilities that caters for a wide variety of prospective tenants.
The Pavilion is orientated north-south and positioned on the eastern edge of Quad One.
The single-storey structure is an amenity building that incorporates a gym and café for the campus-wide community. Since the completion of Quad One, SDC has been awarded three other similar developments on the Harwell Campus (Nanopore Building, Cobalt Building and the R92 laboratory extension).
