Wates Group was hired by Teesside University to construct, BIOS, its new state-of-the-art facility at the heart of the Middlesbrough campus. It will provide cutting-edge new laboratories for the sciences and clinical subjects. As part of the construction phase of this project Hoard-it was chosen to supply solid timber hoarding panels with printed panels, vehicle and a pedestrian gate on this project.
BIOS is a £35m facility at the heart of Teesside University’s campus, offering high-quality, leading-edge laboratories for the sciences and clinical subjects including anatomy, pharmacy, microbiology, chemistry, Earth sciences and food sciences.
