🚨 Hot off the press! 🚨 We’re thrilled to share an exciting update on one of our latest projects—a cutting-edge hydrogen research facility in partnership with Cranfield University. 🚀 This facility is shaping up to be an architectural marvel. Our team is hard at work bringing Another Kind Architects imaginative designs to reality by developing a 15-metre long-spanning roof with a striking 4-metre overhang on the first floor. What’s more, we’ve strategically designed offset steel columns to protect the existing foundations of three adjacent buildings. 🏗️ The ground floor will be the heart of hydrogen research, featuring state-of-the-art labs, while the first floor will be a vibrant space for showrooms and offices, fostering innovation and collaboration. This is just one of several groundbreaking higher education projects we’re involved with, and we can’t wait to share more with you soon! 🙌
We’re thrilled to announce that construction at Bluebell Ward, Walton Hospital is now complete! 🏥 🏗️ This sustainable healthcare project focused on revitalising an existing building, originally constructed in 2012 as a care facility for patients with onset dementia. The updates include redesigned layouts for ensuite bedrooms, clinical spaces, communal areas, and staff accommodation. Additionally, a new single-storey, glazed link corridor has been added to improve access to a refurbished central courtyard garden, with modern landscaping to enhance the outdoor environment 🌱 Dice played a key role in designing the 20m steel-framed link corridor, providing structural support, and incorporating sustainable drainage and pavement foundation details. This project highlights our commitment to public health services and our dedication to sustainability and innovative design in line with The Institution of Structural Engineers’ measures to address the climate emergency and support net zero by 2050 🌏 We love seeing a project come to fruition and are incredibly proud of the efforts from everyone involved. 👏 #Construction #Healthcare #NetZero #Sustainable #Civil #Structural #Engineers #Engineer #Hospital #Project #Success #Complete

Commercial, Mixed Use, Retail
This mixed-use development situated in Doncaster will be an integral component of the larger mixed-use development for the Lakeside area.
Take a sneak peek 👀 at one of our our latest commercial projects, a new five-storey hotel with an innovative twist – a flood compensation basement that fits expertly beneath the footprint of the overall structure and provides storage for a fluvial flood event, a planning requirement, owing to the fact that the building sits adjacent a river in flood zone 3. The structure is being engineered to facilitate the management of stormwater beneath the building, protecting both the hotel and external areas from surface water flood risks. It’s a crucial feature that enhances the sustainability and safety of the project 🌧️🌊 This unique building comprises a precast concrete superstructure of composite concrete, insulation and facing brick wall panels, supporting precast concrete floors. Timber roof trusses sit atop the concrete frame to form a traditional pitched roof profile. The structural system makes efficient use of a regular arrangement of walls located between bedrooms. The use of MMC, with panels manufactured in a factory environment will result in rapid construction on site, whilst ensuring a high degree of quality control. The building is sat on a reinforced concrete podium of ground beams and pile caps, with the ground floor raised up above the expected flood level, safeguarding the development. Stay tuned for more updates – we’re thrilled to see this project take shape and can’t wait to share the full details with you soon! 🚀

Here are some highlights from the past 12 months: • Secured key projects including the Clay Cross Town Centre Regeneration, Wakefield College, Stockdale House in Leeds, and services for the University of Sheffield Faculty of Health. • Strengthened our footprint in the Yorkshire market with invaluable connections and growth. • Expanded our team and service offering with the strategic hire of Joe Manson as Associate Director of Transport Planning, this enhancing our pre-planning services. • Reached significant milestones with a dynamic team and due to growing the team, our Sheffield office is now becoming rather ‘snug,’ hence we’re excited to announce an upcoming move to a larger office space. • Hosted numerous networking events at our @cubowork hub, fostering connections and collaboration. • We have expanded the team significantly and welcomed two fantastic summer interns who brought fresh perspectives to our team. • We’ve won more Edge wooden spoons than we’d like to admit, but it’s the taking part that counts right? A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to our journey.
