The Oxford Bio-Chemistry Department is part of the University of Oxford’s Medical Sciences Division and ranked third in the world for Biomedicine.
The University’s future developement plans include replacements buildings for those that are no longer fit for purpose.
A visually impressive feature of the project was a 1,670 Sq m green roof terrace, accessible by students and academic staff. Prater installed this by using a combination of cedar decking and a sedum green roof system laid over Permaquik structural waterproofing.
Prater were also able to offer the client single-point responsibility for the project by being able to source, supply and install the structural and secondary steelwork to support the 900 Sq m CGL perforated rainscreen system, podium and basement external waterproofing works, a Key Guard freestanding handrail system, aluminium PPC cappings, louvres and Powershield plant room doors.
