UK’s first carbon neutral lab set to be built in Nottingham

Rugby-based construction company Morgan Sindall has managed to secure a £15.8m contract for building the UK’s first carbon neutral lab, on a site located on the premises of the University of Nottingham.

As a news report in the local media has revealed, the Carbon Neutral Laboratory of Sustainable Chemistry, which is being part-funded by GlaxoSmithKline, will serve as a hub to catalyse new collaborations with industry. The building will occupy 48,400 sq ft over two floors.

In addition to laboratory space for about 100 researchers, it will also contain dedicated instrument rooms, a teaching laboratory for advanced undergraduate classes and space for a range of outreach activities. Research activity will aim for the highest “clean and green” standards to minimise environmental impact and ensure the new chemistry developed is energy and resource efficient and sustainable.

Construction of the laboratory, to be located on Innovation Park, will begin in the autumn of 2013 and it is expected to be completed in early 2015.

Such an extensive development project will quite obviously involve a very large number of contractors, and this is specifically where Time and Attendance UK could put its extensive experience in the time and attendance and workforce management sectors to very good use.
