Loughborough University STEMlab Interior Design
The STEMLab acts as a new hub for science and engineering, providing a truly student-focused learning environment boasting state-of-the-art facilities. It offers a ‘drop-in’ engineering workshop, alongside a range of modern laboratories and teaching spaces. We were brought in after planning submission, to develop the designs and support the project through construction.
The project has a two-fold significance. Firstly, the STEMLab facilities are fundamental to the university’s strategic expansion in STEM subjects and secondly, the building sits in a prominent gateway location on campus.
We introduced a high-quality landscaping scheme which transforms the steeply sloping site into a pedestrian-friendly social space. Inside the building our designs helped to rationalise laboratory layouts and coordinate the significant building services and extract requirements.
