Clark Contracts has completed the Cat B fit out of 177 Bothwell Street in Glasgow on behalf of NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and Public Health Scotland (PHS).
The project involved fitting out over 23,000 sq. ft. of office space on the fourth floor. This included dividing the existing floor plate with new steel and glazed partitions, mechanical and electrical installations and installing fixed furniture and finishes including wall panelling, bespoke ceilings, decoration and flooring
The project was delivered alongside Architect, Austin-Smith-Lord; Project Manager, Principal Designer and Quantity Surveyor, Doig & Smith; Structural Engineer, Will Rudd and Services Engineer, Xburo.
Jim Boyle, Director of Finance, NHS Education for Scotland said: “NHS Education for Scotland and Public Health Scotland are working together to get best value for the public pound, including making most efficient use of property. We will be co-locating in shared office space in Glasgow that is already on the public sector estate via an existing lease. This will generate substantial operational savings year-on -year and represents money that can benefit the wider NHS in Scotland.
“177 Bothwell Street represents a sustainable office development which is BREEAM ‘excellent’ and is net zero carbon in operation. The move to this property will contribute substantially to NES’s progress in achieving its net zero targets in relation to its physical estate while offering more sustainable travel and transport options for staff, learners and visitors.
“Working closely with Clark Contracts has proved productive, resulting in strong progress towards delivering office space that meets needs. With Doig+Smith as lead delivery partner, more efficient use of space, greater collaboration, and new ways of working can now be realised.”
Gerry Cummins, Director, Clark Contracts said, “We are delighted to have delivered this fit out of 177 Bothwell Street for new customers NHS Education for Scotland and Public Health Scotland. We enjoyed working closely with the design team to deliver this much needed office space, and hope that the facility is enjoyed by the new tenants.
“Clark Contracts have a longstanding relationship with the NHS having been appointed to NHS frameworks for a decade, and look forward to working together again in the future”.
