The brief

The University of East Anglia was created during the 1960s.

Its original campus buildings were designed by the acclaimed architect Sir Denys Lasdun and several of the original buildings are now Grade II Listed, including the original teaching and science building the Lasdun Wall.

The Grade II listed Lasdun Wall is an iconic and important part of University of East Anglia's (UEA) history situated in the centre of the UEA's vibrant and busy 24/7 campus.

However, the building needs repair and refurbishment to address condition issues and to deliver essential sustainability improvements to enable the University to meet their target to be a net zero campus by 2045.

The Lasdun Wall comprises four buildings constructed to appear as one (Building 3, Building 4, Building 5 and Building 6).

The University plans to carry out a four-phase strip-back-to-frame refurbishment of the Lasdun Wall.

This project - Lasdun Wall Refurbishment Phase 1 - will deliver new modern science facilities and teaching space in an extended Building 3, whilst existing science research facilities continue to operate within Buildings 4, 5 and 6.

The existing science facilities are currently at risk due to potential condition failures of the buildings, therefore the success of Phase 1 to 'de-risk' highly specialised facilities within the Lasdun wall, is of extreme importance to the University.

The University's Phase 1 project consists of three elements Preliminary enabling works (by others) The Main Works (the subject of this procurement) A package of interphase enabling works which will complete Phase 1 and prepare for the future decommissioning of Buildings The appointed Main Contractor will be required to undertake the following: Initial phase of strip out and asbestos removal will have been undertaken to provide an empty shell, however asbestos removal will be required by the main contractor as follows: Facades - Around existing windows which will be replaced, and concrete façade panels removed to accommodate the new extension.

Existing floor screed abutting the perimeter which includes asbestos contamination around existing fixings to the retained listed concrete façade panels - fixings and all remaining screeds will need to be removed.

Within the tender design information, we have included the Asbestos survey report to support with the remaining asbestos removal, sequencing and overall methodology.

All Asbestos must be removed.

Extension - An extension of approx.

2,966m² is planned to one elevation.

Window Replacement and Façade Treatment - The building is listed and the facades are a sensitive architectural feature which will need to be carefully replaced with modern windows in similar style.

Fitting Out of existing building - The re-fit comprises circa 11,287m² of space split to include science research facilities and teaching and social learning space.
