Paterson’s Land Reception Area

The scope of works comprised of the refurbishment of an existing Reception Area for the University of Edinburgh to create a new reception for the Office of Lifelong Learning. Main works included minor M&E works, internal finishings, partitions, flooring, ceiling and decoration to existing space and a new reception desk and furniture. Special care was required in relation to safety within the live and operational environment keeping all entrances and fire exits clear and free from obstruction at all times.

The works comprised:

• Strip out of existing facilities along with ceilings, flooring, Partitions and M&E Services
• Structural works which included widening existing openings to the reception
• Limited invasive structural works and temporary propping
• New internal reception desk and shelving
• Plastering and decoration throughout
• New floor finishes
• New M&E services

The SJS installation team ensured the historic features of the Edinburgh building were suitably protected to avoid damage. Any internal timber features which had to be renewed were replaced with brand new traditionally manufactured timber features produced in our own workshop.
