Working on behalf of Keele Park Developments (a JV between Keele University & Pochin Developments Ltd), S I Sealy was appointed in 2000 to provide full Mechanical & Electrical engineering consultancy services for the new £2.0M speculative office development “IC 1”. Following the success of this unit, which quickly became fully let, further development were constructed, IC2 (£3M), IC 3 (£5M) and IC4 (£4M). For each phase the practice provided a full design and site monitoring service, and each phase was completed on time and on budget, with the final phase being completed in late 2007.
Each unit provides flexible open plan office space, with the earlier building designed to be naturally ventilated, whilst the final two buildings were constructed to a higher specification and fully air conditioned.
IC3 was aimed at medical research companies, and has being named MED IC 3. The building includes high spec containment laboratories and write up spaces to the top floor and flexible office spaces to the ground & first floors, with all the highly complex services designed by the practice.
