Freeley has completed its second project for the University of Warwick, demolishing multiple buildings in the heart of a busy campus.
After carrying out extensive preparatory works, including asbestos removal, we cleared several sites, followed by fencing and landscaping.
The most complex part of the project was the demolition of the Graduate Studies building, located in the heart of the Westwood campus and attached to an operational property that was retained. Carefully controlled manual and mechanical demolition was essential to ensure the safety and integrity of the remaining structure.
As part of the works, we also installed a new emergency staircase with emergency lighting for the retained property and carried out remedial work on its façade.
Michael Freeley, Director at Freeley, said: “This project demonstrates our ability to deliver complex demolition in a live, constrained environment while maintaining the highest safety standards and minimising disruption.
“Working within a busy university campus required careful planning, particularly when demolishing a structure attached to a live building. Controlling dust, noise, and vibrations was paramount to minimise disturbance for students and staff.”
The project also saw Freeley demolish two empty residential properties near the university’s Westwood campus.
