To be developed in two phases, the 47-week project will increase the office accommodation and demonstration facilities at the KARL STORZ site in Thomas Wise Place, Dundee.
The phase I of the development includes the construction of a 12,900 square feet steel frame office extension, with render, facing brick and cladding to its façade and a section of curtain walling, which will showcase a new feature stairwell.
In order to keep the office building eco-friendly, the new structure will include a planted green roof to absorb CO2 and other pollutants, and reduce the impact of surface run off. The extension will be fitted out to provide more space as well as an open plan office space.
Upon completion of the first phase, staff will be relocated to the new accommodation. In phase II of the development, which is a 12-week programme, the existing building will be refurbished and reconfigured to create a high specification sales and demonstration area.
In addition to that, to maximise the volume of natural daylight, a number of new windows will be installed and all the glazing will be replaced with modern, high performance units.
