Overview
The Whelan Building Basement Refurbishment at the University of Liverpool covered rooms B/006, B/009 and B/010, repurposed to create a simulated ICU teaching space, a residential flat, and a medical consultation/investigation room. Works included strip-out of redundant services, modifications to layouts, and installation of new ceilings, lighting, and finishes. The project required careful delivery within an occupied university building, with provisions for safe working, coordination with stakeholders, and phased access to minimise disruption.

M&E Solution
Steven A. Hunt & Associates produced the Stage 4 mechanical and electrical design. Electrical services included new mains and sub-main distribution, containment, lighting and emergency lighting, small power, fire alarms, structured wiring, and CCTV. Mechanical works comprised modifications to the heating system, new domestic hot and cold water services with thermostatic mixing valves, above-ground drainage, ventilation adjustments with new ductwork and extract connections, medical gases, and recommissioning of retained fan coil units and extract fans. All systems were designed and specified to University of Liverpool standards, British Standards, and HTM requirements, with full testing, commissioning, and O&M documentation forming part of the scope.
