In the middle of London, overlooking one of the country’s famous Royal Parks, we are proud to share our work on the refurbishment of this historic building in Sussex Place, an iconic structure designed in the 1800s by John Nash, the same architect who designed Buckingham Palace.
Set back from the busy London arteries that run parallel to it, North Building, which has had many extensions since the 1960s, is surprisingly peaceful and intimate, with thoughtful design creating attractive spaces for London Business School student community.
The project proved to be testament to the Stamfords Team’s hard work, discipline and impeccable quality that the project was delivered on time.
Impressed with the outcome of this project, we had commenced the next major project for the London Business School – the demolition of the Plowden Building.
We used Augmented Reality to visualise new concepts in construction, and convert a heritage property into a modern building while working within the limits of a listed building consent.
Stamfords has been refurbishing almost every part of the London Business School, transforming areas ranging from lecture theatres, toilets, cafés, shops, communal circulation areas, private study areas and the Dean’s residencies, to name a few. The comprehensive refurbishment works of North Building have included IT infrastructure and data, roofing, structural work, tarmacadam, flooring, decorations, mechanical and electrical, and much more, to transform the School’s learning and leisure areas into modern spaces fit for purpose.
Our team worked within a 28 week deadline while accommodating 160 contract instructions/variations while adhering to the initial project timeline.  Structural alterations were proposed as the first stage- Horizontal steel braces at roof level to provide lateral stability for the external brickwalls at third floor level.
