Unity Campus Phase 2 | £35.4mSawston, Cambridgeshire
After successfully completing phase 1 for the Howard Group, the team secured phase 2 of this life science campus in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside.
This phase involved the design and construction of buildings A1, A2 and B as well as an extension to the multi story car park, which was constructed in phase 1.
The three storey multi-tenants office and laboratory buildings completed in December 2023 as part of a phased handover of the buildings. The project has had low carbon construction at the heart of it, with the team using CarboniCa, the Morgan Sindall intelligent carbon calculator to save over 1000 tonnes of carbon by enabling the client to model design choices in real time.

55 Colmore Row | £28mBirmingham
Refurbishment of a Grade II listed building, new façade and vertical extension at the heart of Birmingham for IM Properties.
The building now has 160,000 sq ft of grade A office space over six floors. Situated on the corner of Church Street and Colmore Row, it has Grade II-listed Victorian terrace façade which overlooks Birmingham Cathedral. The historic, listed 19th century banking hall formed a central part of the redevelopment and was fully restored and reconfigured as a reception area.
Given the location of the project, logistics was a key factor - careful liaison with the authorities enabled tower crane erection, deliveries, road closures and a specially designed pit-lane delivery system to keep roads accessible for as much of the project as possible.
Delivering complex projects isn’t just about the quality, cost and time elements, it’s also about the experience. The support we got from the team was exceptional. They knew their subject matter really well, but they also really cared about what they were delivering.

Vantage Point Remedial Works | £9mLothbury Investments, Spinningfields, Manchester
Complex facade works to replace the curtain walling and windows of an occupied nine storey city centre office building. The project also involved minor internal refurbishment works and upgrades to an adjacent building.
The 50,000 sq ft office building was constructed in 2010 and is multi let to a variety of quality tenants over 10 floors. Due to defects in the original build, the facade experienced issues with water ingress requiring a full replacement of all curtain walling and windows.
Located in a bustly area of Manchester City Centre, challenges included the actual site footprint, traffic management, existing tenants in occupation and surrounding local businesses. Works were carried out in a sensitive manner to ensure minimal disruption.
Regular use of early warnings and risk reduction meetings allowed decisions to be made effectively. Any changes were valued and agreed as works progressed, using a rolling final account, delivering honesty and transparency.
Botanic House | £8.8mCambridge
Delivered for Pace Investments, Botanic House is an exciting 52,000sqft seven storey office development at the heart of Cambridge.

We enhanced detailing to ensure compliance with the planners, re-designed the stairs to boost safety and reduce costs, used an alternative piling solution and re-designed the roof to achieve an A+ BREEAM rating.
We thank Morgan Sindall and the entire project team for helping us give Cambridge a building to be proud of.

Bay Technology Centre | £7.9mPort Talbot, South Wales
A ground breaking energy positive building - the first of its kind in Wales - providing office and laboratory space.
Delivered under the South West Wales Regional Contractors Framework (SWWRCF) for Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, it is a project like no other in Wales, surpassing net zero to provide a conceptual practice of 'building as a power station' - the first commercial facility in Wales that is energy positive in operation. It is an all electric building with no fossil fuels
The vital step of integrated passive design allows for the building to eliminate fossil fuel usage and enable green energy sources to be utilised efficiently. The incorporation of photovoltaic panels into the façade provides a significant clean source of energy into a very compact design.
The original brief was always for it to be energy positive, but we’d never done this before. However, it was well driven by the main contractor and the design team. It’s now the driver for generating net zero commitments for all of our projects.

Jewson Warehouse | £4.5mChesterfield, Chesterfield Borough Council
We were appointed via the Pagabo Medium Works Framework to build a new branch of Jewson in Chesterfield to replace the building merchant’s former home in the town, which was removed as part of the HS2 Station Master Plan.
The new branch is a one-stop shop for tradespeople and comprises a warehouse for building materials, a customer sales area and storage facility.
Working with our supply chain, we were able to make massive carbon savings by keeping excavated material onsite for re-use. The project had massive civils works required, including a number of deep excavations and retaining walls. The team kept most of their excavated material onsite and re-used it for landscaping and levelling the site.
Morgan Sindall have really embraced our local labour clause and worked hard to ensure they engage with the community and create extra value throughout the construction phase.
