Project:
‘EAT’ Restaurant refurbishment
Contract duration:
Eight Weeks
Description of works:
Transformation of ‘Arts Centre’ restaurant.
Murray & Willis were appointed by The University of Warwick to undertake the complete refurbishment and transformation of the ‘EAT’ restaurant within the highly acclaimed ‘Arts Centre’ complex into a new vibrant eating space.
This was our first project as part of a new refurbishment framework agreement with the University of Warwick.
The project was delivered over an eight week program during the summer shutdown of 2011, ready to re-open for ‘fresher’s’ week at the beginning of October 2011.
The scope of works comprised of the complete strip out of the previous dining facility including removal of furniture, floor finishes, fixed seating and all old lighting.
When the strip out was complete we carefully laid the new floor coverings which included Amtico and Polyfloor finishes.
We then altered the electrics and installed ‘Fagerhult ‘large pendent lights and perimeter lighting which could change colour dependent on the mood settings via LED spotlights. Mechanically we also made minor alterations to the air conditioning and installed a specialist Pizza oven.
One of the main features within the new restaurant was a curved bar comprising of feature laminated panels and a curved ‘Corian’ counter top. This is complimented by a specialist stainless steel servery counter with a glass surround with decorative laminate panels.
Within the restaurant facility there are three areas of fixed seating complimented by various types of loose furniture including tables and chairs imported from Italy.
There is feature panelling and a metal balustrade within the restaurant that were commissioned previously by the University of Warwick, these had to be protected and retained as they are features of historic interest.
