A complete refurbishment of an existing 3 storey office building within the heart of Brighton, to a learning centre for the photographic department of the University of Brighton. The refurbishment consists of new workshops, darkrooms and lecture halls.
Our brief was a design and build M&E services from the main intake position services to the building. This was a very challenging task taking into account the age of the building and the fact that all services would be on show, topped with low ceilings within the basement area. This meant that great care had to go into the selection equipment to give the best performance, aesthetically pleasing and within budget. We worked closely with the architect, client and end user to achieve this goal.
The end product was outstanding, with a light airy comfortable place to work and study. Totally efficient LED lighting throughout with automatic lighting controls giving the faculty and students the right type of lux levels
A Design & Build project to renovate an old grade 2 listed Air Force Officers Mess and separate Sports Hall to a new Free School for pupils aged 3 to 16 years. The client had a restricted budget and value engineering was an important part in the delivery of a quality education facility. Taking a concept design and developing it to a workable solution to suit the budget was the significant challenge for this project. Working in a listed building presents challenges and we were able to deliver the project on time and in keeping with the buildings heritage.

A D&B project in conjunction with Mansell Construction to create environmentally friendly offices for Eastleigh Borough council. The building is a fully air conditioned office facility utilising central mechanical ventilation and 4-pipe fan coil units. The project achieved an “Excellent” rating under BREEAM in part achieved by the innovative services design which Hopkins provided and included Photovoltaic Panels (PV), Solar Thermal and high efficiency Turbo Core Chillers. The PV panels on part of the south elevation and the flat roof form part of the 15% renewables strategy as does the energy efficient lighting.
