Description:

A new two-storey extension to the existing Marlowe Innovation Centre; a successful starter facility for local innovative businesses, which provides fully managed workspaces and support.

The extension project delivered 25 new self-contained business spaces over 7,965 square feet, along with additional parking spaces and external works.

Milestone Project Consultancy were appointed just after planning was granted, in order to procure the wider design team and contractor, and ultimately deliver the scheme to through to handover.

Built within the grounds of the adjacent Marlowe Academy, the project had to be managed with consideration to the day to day activities of students & staff, along with the tenants of the existing part of the innovation centre, who remained incumbent during the whole development.

Part funded by The Coastal Communities Fund (Big Lottery) and The Roger De Haan Charitable Trust, the project had to comply with and demonstrate clear processes and procedures for strict auditing and regulatory requirements.

The project was completed within budget and ahead of programme in early May 2014, with the first tenants moving in soon thereafter.
