SureScreen Diagnostics, Nottinghamshire
The Project
The project encompasses phases 2 & 3 design and fit out for SureScreen Diagnostics Ltd, manufacturers of the UK’s only approved Covid 19 lateral flow tests. Lucinda House, largest of its kind in Europe, is a circa 113,000 Sq Ft automated production and packaging facility. As Principal Designer and Principal Contractor DSP (Interiors) Ltd delivered this complex multifaceted project from scratch, completely redeveloping a previous logistics shed. Included was a 32,000 Sq Ft mezzanine floor with state-of-the-art automated production lines having specialist services such as dehumidification and robotics. Also included was a large agile Office, Lounge and amenity.
DSP worked in partnership with the client to design and continually develop machine layouts and workflows to accommodate best processes for most economical production throughout the pandemic.
Drawing inspiration from local history; a guiding theme for the project was Sherwood Forest. A playful take on this is that machines in Production are named after characters from Robin Hood. The inspiration for the Agile Offices Amenity is taken from Sherwood Forest and the Major Oak; the fit out is seeped in biophilia from wooden rafts with draping vines to expansive nature panoramic graphics. Extensive use of acoustic treatment was incorporated throughout.
