ISG Starts Work On Liverpool John Moores University's Camps Upgrade

The General Engineering Research Institute is one of the UK’s leading research centres within manufacturing and related technologies. The Institute, which specialises in optical measurement systems and advanced manufacturing technology, will see part of an existing workshop area rationalised into a new reception, boardroom and open plan office facilities for up to 50 researchers.

ISG has commenced an £860k project for Liverpool John Moores University to build new office space and meeting areas for the General Engineering Research Institute and to convert office accommodation at its Byrom Street Campus into new laboratory facilities. The project is the latest phase of the University’s £multi-million five year master plan to enhance research and teaching facilities across the campus.

Following the demolition of an existing building on site, ISG will also construct a steel frame structure with an aluminium rain screen cladding and glass façade to blend seamlessly with the architecture of the surrounding buildings. This two-storey extension to the front of the building will contain office areas, meeting rooms and study spaces for postgraduate doctoral students.
