ISG contracted for £70m Imperial College biomedical hub

Construction services company ISG has been announced on the preferred contractor on Imperial College London’s new biomedical research hub at the university’s innovation campus in White City.

The £70m Michael Uren Biomedical Engineering Research Hub is a new collaborative facility that will bring together engineers, scientists and clinicians to work alongside spin-out companies to research and create new and affordable medical technologies.

Housed within Imperial’s 23-acre research and innovation campus in White City, the building will total 14-storeys and incorporate modular laboratory bench systems to facilitate greater flexibility and collaboration within the facility.

It now means ISG has secured over £130 in projects from Imperial in the last couple of months, coming after it had been awarded the £61m contract to deliver a new Department of Chemistry.

Danny Blakeston, managing director of ISG’s Engineering Services business, commented: “Securing our third major project for Imperial at the White City Campus is a major achievement for the business and really cements our reputation as a specialist in the delivery of highly-engineered spaces.

“The opportunity to work on two outstanding research buildings on the same campus simultaneously underlines the breadth and depth of our capability and acknowledges the strength of our relationship with one of the world’s leading science-based institutions.”

Work is expected to commence in early 2017 ahead of completion in 2019.
