The Brief

The University of Queensland (UQ) sought to transform a small, dilapidated space within their School of Biomedical Sciences into a certified specialist Clinical Sciences PC2 laboratory. The challenge was to create a practical, fit-for-purpose environment that would facilitate innovative research into the blood-tissue interface in injury and repair. The project brief emphasised the need for program and price certainty, all while delivering a state-of-the-art facility that could foster scientific excellence and meet stringent regulatory requirements.

Our contribution

Operating under a D&C contract, our team completed ceiling works, a PWD refurbishment and a laboratory fitout. We prioritised student safety and ensured minimal disruption to the ongoing operations of the live campus environment. Our team met all regulatory standards, presenting a meticulously constructed PC2-certified laboratory that met UQ’s needs.

The remarkable project outcome

UQ’s Otto Hirschfeld PC2 Lab upgrade was a remarkable success. We addressed the brief by delivering a state-of-the-art facility that now stands as a clean slate for cutting-edge research, enabling UQ’s School of Biomedical Science to advance its work in biological healing processes. With a stress-free project journey, program and price certainty, and minimal disruption to building occupants, this project exemplifies our commitment to UQ’s business continuity and operational excellence – another remarkable project delivered to our friends at UQ, reflecting our shared dedication to scientific innovation.
