The New Lister Building forms part of the 1980’s Queen Elizabeth Building and has been created through the refurbishment of the original University Tower Block. The project involved the complete refurbishment of 5No. floors of accommodation to create over 12,500m2 of Laboratory and Teaching accommodation as well as a new roof top plantroom. Accommodation comprises various individual CL2 Laboratories, a CL3 Laboratory Suite, Lecture Theatre, office accommodation and staff welfare facilities. Services installed within the building include fume extraction systems serving safety cabinets and fume cupboards, laboratory gas installations, active chilled beams, steam / MTHW plate heat exchangers, an air cooled chiller, MTHW / CHW distribution systems, AHU Plant and all associated controls.

Electrical installations include 2No. new 1500kVA generators, 630 amp rising bus-bas, power distribution, networked self-test emergency lighting, lighting, extensive door access controls integrated with the existing site, fire alarm with link to remote off-site monitoring. The project was particularly challenging as the works were undertaken adjacent to live and occupied departments and directly above out-patient clinics that remained operational throughout the project.
