SciTec update 30.09.06
The SciTec project has advanced significantly in the last four weeks. The first floor slab is complete, most of the concrete walls on the upper floor have been cast and a substantial part of the roof slab is in place. Support steelwork for the large glazed areas on the north elevation has been installed.
Now that much of the internal shuttering and other support work has been removed the purpose and effect of the light-well in the heart of the building has become clear and the scale of the building much more apparent. Display areas are vital and the building’s design lends itself to imaginative possibilities.
There has been little, if any, interference from the weather. Next week the process of cladding the building in Clipsham Stone will begin.
