Behind the hoardings at Tribeca, our team is bringing this major life sciences development to life. We spoke to them to learn more about the design and delivery of this state-of-the-art life sciences led scheme, which will include laboratory and office space, residential apartments, retail and public realm.
Sasha Hill is a graduate HSQE manager, who joined us last September. “It’s a complex, mixed-use site with very limited space, which makes coordination between teams really challenging, but also fascinating. My focus is making sure every task is carried out safely, because no matter how much we want to get the job done, safety always comes first.”
“We’re very restricted in terms of space, being right next to the canal, and opposite Travis Perkins, United Students, and Moorfields Eye Hospital as well. I love getting to see all the phases of the flats complete, there is one block that is a mini replica of what the area looked like before!”
Berfin Tas is our graduate design manager. “It’s a major project with so much to learn, especially coming from an architecture background. The biggest challenge is balancing client changes with programme deadlines, but it’s exciting working with such a strong team to find solutions.”
“One of my favourite aspects of the design so far has been the lifts in the laboratories, they have high-spec lab services with smart access and safety systems to detect chemicals, which I found very interesting!”
Arnold Seligmann, senior design manager says, “It’s a large and complex project that really puts our skills to the test. It has been challenging, with the size and constraints, but we’re progressing well as a team, and I’m especially looking forward to seeing the residential block I started on completed.”
Dianne Taylor is a trainee construction manager who’s been at Tribeca for nearly a year. “Starting in logistics gave me a great overview of how everything moves on site. With so much happening in a tight space, keeping everyone safe and coordinated is the biggest challenge but also the most important part of the job.”
