Self Architects was appointed by Office Principles to deliver two new projects at UKBIC (UK Battery Industrialisation Centre). The first was a new, two-storey building in the warehouse process hall, housing 8,000 sq. ft of open plan office space, meeting and conference rooms, and breakout facilities. Office Principles also instructed us to create a new single storey structure. The new building would need to offer a range of lab spaces for exploratory work, such as processing, forensics and CT scanning. Both projects needed to be delivered in a live environment, with sound proofing and dust monitoring equipment used to ensure optimum air quality at all times.
