Projects

Full MEP Design & Build services were delivered at Lancashire County Cricket’s second home, Farington Pavilion, as part of a £20m investment in a new training and community facility.

The development provides a modern, dual-purpose cricket centre that supports professional men’s and women’s teams, while also offering long-term access for local clubs, youth programmes and wider community use. Sustainability and inclusive design were central to the project, ensuring the facility is efficient, accessible and future-ready.

MEP Design & Build services were delivered at the purpose-built Ged Mason Building. The project formed part of the £50m transformation of the Royal College Manchester, and met DfE standards and Net Zero Carbon targets.

The building provides a modern learning environment. It was designed to support 16–25-year-olds with complex disabilities and communication needs. The facility delivers high-quality, independent specialist college provision.

The 5,000m² college includes purpose-designed classrooms and specialist leisure facilities. These include rebound therapy rooms and a sensory theatre. The development also features a new sports hall and fitness suite. Flexible multi-purpose spaces support staff training, fitness classes, and community use. Dedicated workspace was provided for the Trust’s staff.

MEP Design & Build services were delivered for this new-build stand, which incorporated a four-star Hilton Garden Inn hotel. The development included premium guest bedrooms, restaurant facilities, and flexible event spaces.

The Club’s plans included a major expansion of the existing Hilton Garden Inn. The former Red Rose Suite was replaced with a new extension constructed within the stadium footprint. This extension provided an additional 100 bedrooms, increasing the total on-site hotel capacity to 250 rooms.

The Grade II listed Dispensary opened in 1874 to provide healthcare for the local community. It served the area for over a century before closing in 1989.

Developers proposed redevelopment in the 2000s, but the plans fell through. Demolition proposals followed and triggered significant public opposition. In response, local stakeholders formed The Ancoats Dispensary Trust.

The Council took ownership of the building in 2018. In 2021, it partnered with Great Places to bring forward redevelopment proposals. The scheme will deliver 39 new affordable homes.

The design team retained the Grade II listed façades to preserve the building’s historic character. The works also included reconstruction of the tower and new-build elements to the rear.
