Cambridge Technology Research Lab Project
InterFocus is pleased to announce the successful completion of a major laboratory development in Cambridge. This comprehensive project involved converting a previously unoccupied building into a fully operational, state-of-the-art scientific facility.
Delivered as a complete turnkey solution, the project included significant building works. A key structural enhancement was the installation of a new mezzanine floor, purpose-built to house the plant room and dedicated office spaces.
Managed from concept through to completion, the InterFocus team ensured a smooth, high-quality delivery at every stage of the project.
Specialist Technical Installations
A key element of the installation was the creation of a temperature-controlled server room, specifically designed to support essential data infrastructure. This room is equipped with bespoke cooling systems to maintain a constant environment, ensuring maximum uptime and operational reliability.
The facility also features a wide range of specialist laboratory infrastructure, including:
Multiple high-specification laboratories
A comprehensive fume extraction system
High-performance fume cupboards for safe chemical handling
Installation of specialist gas systems and secure gas storage
Precision filter lighting for accurate lab work
Fully integrated mechanical and electrical (M&E) design and installation
A complete building management system and advanced security solutions
Explosion-Proof Chemical Storage facility
To meet rigorous safety and compliance requirements, InterFocus also constructed a bespoke explosion-proof chemical store. This structure includes integrated blast panels designed to release explosive energy safely, helping to preserve the structural integrity of the main building.
