Kathleen Lonsdale Building

London, England

This 1915 Grade 11 listed, 5 storey building on Gower Place is a teaching facility in the heart of UCL’s campus. Rationalisation and refurbishment of the entire building was carried out to create high quality, academic space for various departments within UCL. This provided areas for students and staff to work and socialise together and transformed the building to provide specialist laboratories, teaching rooms, research facilities and offices, whilst being sensitive to the complex heritage site.

  • Navabi successfully completed the Mechanical Services package within the building, including LTHW heating, domestic hot and cold water, Cat 5 domestic water supplies, foul drainage system which incorporated the Vulcathene system, (a completely purpose-designed chemical resistant drainage system) and all mechanical ventilation.
