Smith & Nephew

Scope of works:

Smith & Nephew’s corporate rebranding exercise prompted the creation of a new Business Centre at the UK Headquarters in Hull. Insight worked in partnership with corporate design consultant Harkess Ord to translate the brand throughout the new state-of-the-art facility.

The Business Centre comprised a large reception area, conference facilities (with digitally controlled lighting integrated with audio visual equipment) and a fully functioning internet café.

During the twelve week construction programme many challenges were faced. Different floor heights were levelled; load bearing walls were removed/replaced with structural columns and steel beams were integrated into the ceiling void, to facilitate the creation of an intricate sliding folding wall system.

This complex building project was completed within budget and on time.
