NC Construction was appointed as Main Contractor by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust to deliver refurbishment works to the CRF Building at Warneford Hospital, a Grade II Listed Building located in Oxford.
The project formed part of the Oxford Health Clinical Research Facility (OH CRF), a centre dedicated to advancing mental and cognitive health treatments through clinical research. Established in 2011 and operated in partnership with the University of Oxford, the OH CRF is the only NIHR-supported Clinical Research Facility in the UK solely focused on mental health and dementia.
Our works involved the refurbishment and adaptation of the ground floor to create an extended and fully functional laboratory space, supporting ongoing clinical research activities within this specialist healthcare environment.
The refurbishment package included a range of internal and building services works, carried out in accordance with listed building requirements and NHS standards:
Electrical installation and upgrades
Plumbing works
Carpentry and joinery
Decoration and finishing
Plastering
Flooring installation
Fire detection system upgrades
Air conditioning installation
General building and structural alterations
Management and coordination of specialist laboratory equipment installation
Operating within a live hospital estate and listed building environment, our team ensured careful coordination with the Trust and University to protect the historic character of the building while delivering modern laboratory functionality.
The works were completed on time and within budget, transforming the ground floor space into a compliant and efficient research facility that enhances Oxford Health NHS’s capability to support critical mental health and dementia research.
