Project

High-quality, state-of-the-art new science facility at the heart of the Middlesbrough campus for Teesside University. Supporting the University’s thriving School of Health & Life Sciences, the new building houses four floors of cutting-edge lab space for subjects including anatomy, imaging, microbiology, chemistry, earth sciences and food science.

Teesside University

Teesside University has an outstanding reputation for healthcare provision, with students going on to successful careers within the regional and national healthcare sector.

It also has a vast number of strategic partnerships with healthcare providers and NHS Trusts, enabling more opportunities for students and providing a pipeline of talent in a wide range of disciplines.

BIOS will further enhance this reputation and help equip students with the skills, experience and facilities they need for the training of future healthcare and medical professionals.

The building includes specialist equipment to enable new and interactive forms of learning for core health and allied health provision, including:

1. A clinical skills floor, incorporating an innovative immersion suite for digital teaching.
2. A purpose-built Operating Department Practice suite to support the development of key workers with a fully immersive simulation suite enabling students to work in a range of settings, from hospitals to sports arenas.
3. A wellbeing floor to assist new provision in oral health, as well as expanded provision in the Food Sciences.
4. Flexible facilities to support the ongoing development of Occupational Therapy degrees.
5. A range of new life sciences laboratories to support subjects of key importance to the region, including pharmaceutical science, human biology and biomedicine.
   • 120 person life science laboratory
   • 120 person microbiological laboratory
   • 60 person chemistry lab
   • 60 person food science lab
   • Occupational therapy teaching and simulation spaces including a mock operating theatre.

Achievements

The project achieved a pre-manufactured value of 55.2% by making use of our off-site manufacturing capability to deliver pre-cast floors and stairs, as well as a feature stair which was manufactured offsite and lifted into place. We created a pop-up offsite manufacturing facility in an old dockyard building in Sunderland to produce modular units for the project, rather than transporting them from our off-site manufacturing facility in Coventry, further reducing the embodied carbon from our operations.
