Willmott Dixon Interiors has delivered a £1.6 million refurbishment project at 115 New Cavendish Steet.

The national fit-out and refurbishment specialist contractor has repurposed and refurbished the ground and lower ground floors of the University of Westminster's Cavendish Building.

The project comprised 8,500 sq ft of flexible and engaging space within the building’s CSE Innovation Centre.

The project was procured through the Southern Construction Framework and was delivered by Willmott Dixon Interiors and a project team comprising Fusion Project Management, Stride Treglown as an architect, Gleeds as a quantity surveyor, and services engineer, Hoare Lea and Partners.

Graham Shaw, managing director at Willmott Dixon Interiors, commented: “This is an exciting project that has re-imagined the space across two floors of the Cavendish Building at the University of Westminster. We have created a highly engaging and multipurpose workspace that delivers enhanced teaching and learning facilities to enrich the student experience and showcase the School to potential applicants.”

Joanna Prusiewicz at the University of Westminster added: “Willmott Dixon Interiors has delivered a fantastic project. Despite a very restricted programme in an occupied building, they completed the works on time. Their team was very professional, proactive and hardworking. They showed great collaboration with the building users and provided regular updates on the progress. The Innovation Space is superb and will attract a lot of students and visitors. I will be very happy to work WDI again in the future.”

James Wright, senior framework manager at Southern Construction Framework (SCF), commented: “We are extremely pleased that this project has been successfully delivered, it has really highlighted the benefits of the SCF’s collaborative process and I am sure the students will enjoy their new state of the art facilities.”

The contractor is also currently completing a £39 million refurbishment at London South Bank University’s London Road Building and delivered the design and refurbishment of space across the Waterlooville Campus at Havant & South Downs College.
