Year Completed

The continuation of a rolling programme of refurbishment works of the on-campus student accommodation at Nottingham University. A two phased renovation scheme of Hampton Hall comprising 28 flats with a general make up of six bedrooms, two bathrooms and one kitchen.

Harris Evolution was appointed as the Principal Contractor to oversee the delivery of this challenging programme of works which was split over two academic years. Each phase of works was completed within 8 weeks over the summer period whilst the building was partially occupied.

The challenge was not only in the transformation of the physical space but also in ensuring that the new studio truly becomes a cradle for creativity and a hub for potential artists. There was also the significant undertaking of seamlessly integrating a complex HVAC system, orchestrating a complete overhaul of lighting and electrics, and ensuring that high-quality acoustics is a given, not just an advantage.

Collaboration played a crucial role as we delved into a thorough planning phase. We implemented a comprehensive mezzanine overhaul to maximize space for multiple recording booths. A new HVAC system was integrated, accompanied by a custom lighting setup and advanced door access technology. Carefully chosen windows and doors were aimed at their soundproofing attributes, while the interior design seamlessly blended modern aesthetics with practical furniture, durable flooring, and inspiring decorations.
