2<\/sup> facility and workspace that will accommodate world-leading scientific diagnosis and research in a specialist, high containment environment. It has been flexibly designed to maximise interaction and collaboration between the Institute\u2019s teams by providing facilities that support work by scientists and researchers.<\/p>\nWhen complete, The Brooksby Building will allow scientists to carry out funded research and surveillance programs to tackle viral diseases of farm animals, and viruses that spread from animals to humans.<\/p>\n
Matthew Cova, Kier Major Projects \u2013 Buildings managing director, said: \u201cThis project is another significant award for Kier in the science sector and we are delighted to be working with The Pirbright Institute on the latest project of its development programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Institute is a world-leading centre for research and this award is testament to the strength and depth of our specialist skills in the delivery of complex research and regulated facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cHigh containment facilities present the greatest challenge with the rigour required in the integration of design and build techniques.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a proven track record to deliver such technical projects and we are looking forward to creating this development that forms a part of the UK\u2019s national science infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Work is due to begin on site in early 2019, with the building scheduled to be operational by 2021.<\/p>\n
