The Royal Agricultural University (RAU) has developed two new-build constructions to provide shared office space to start-up companies.
Ridge was appointed by the RAU to assist in the development of light industrial and office space in two locations with very distinct identities. Farm491 is the redevelopment of a former farm building, and was required to maximise the rural setting. While The Alliston Centre is located on-campus and required to provide meeting and collaborative working space.
Ridge provided a technical review of both projects to ensure their suitability to the client brief. At Farm491, Ridge oversaw the construction works through to completion. At The Alliston Centre, Ridge were involved from the tender stage, assisting with the procurement process, contractor appointment, and continued management of the works.
During post-contract stages, Ridge acted as Employer’s Agent for both projects, liaising with contractors and client.
