Gilson's brand-new office design and build
The company is currently located in Luton, just outside the town centre and close to the town's mainline railway station. As such, this location makes it ideal for residential redevelopment, which falls in line with the local council's long-term investment and regeneration programme for the area. As the council owns the current building, they have informed Gilson Scientific that their current lease would not be renewed when it expires in early 2017.
A forced relocation is always going to result in a major upheaval for any business. Despite this, Gilson have taken the news as a great opportunity for them to create a brand-new, bespoke environment that suits the business and reflects how much it has grown and developed over the years.
With many local authorities looking to redevelop commercial properties, companies like Gilson will find it increasingly more difficult to be able to fine specialist properties in which to operate. With almost 30 years of experience designing and building bespoke office spaces, we are able to show how anybuilding can be redesigned to fit how the company want it to operate. For example, whilst the initial mix of an office-to-warehouse configuration did not exactly fit the requirements of Gilson, the addition of a new mezzanine floor and conversion of warehouse space into further office and laboratory space has allowed us to design the ideal facility for them.
Once we install the new mezzanine floor, this will signal the start for all our in-house trades to carry out their work on the building. This work will include the installation of brand-new data, electrical, mechanical and ventilation systems. Further interior work will include:
- Installation of varying partition systems that not only creates modern workspaces but also allows visitors to view the laboratories at work and abides by the company's exacting regulations.
- The installation of new racking systems in the warehouse , which make for a more-organised and safe environment.
- Design of new collaborative spaces such a new reception, kitchen, offices, as well as breakout, meeting and product demonstration rooms. All aspects of these new spaces are designed with how each department work with one another in mind.
