We are delighted to announce that Austin has been awarded the “Built in Quality Award 2011” in the Commercial Category.

This award, in conjunction with Birmingham City Council, West Midlands Centre for Constructing Excellence and the Chartered Institute of Building, honours our excellent work on Cadbury’s new Quality Assurance Laboratory in Bournville, Birmingham.

The project provides Cadbury two new Microbiology Laboratories and one Analytical Laboratory with support facilities. These feature the latest and most up-to-date requirements for Bio-security within a secure building. The award recognises Austin’s experience in the systematic and efficient way the project was designed, constructed and completed to provide a first class new facility for Cadbury.

This is a further award for our team for which we are extremely proud and is added testimony of our ability to provide excellence and workmanship by our professionals for a wide range of projects.

At Austin, quality is an ingredient in every task we undertake. We believe in the greater picture, quality is not a cost but an economy.

We would be delighted to discuss with you how Austin could deliver added value to any project you might be considering for the future.

We are delighted to announce our success in winning the Design and Construction of The University of York’s new Research facility at the Department of Chemistry.

Austin is working with The University of York to develop the user requirements for the expansion of the existing Chemistry facility. Preliminary Design commenced in January 2011. Detailed design is currently underway to develop a range of laboratory, write up and office facilities. The planning consent will result in an expansion to complement the existing building with matching external appearance. The Austin Method® enables a start on site to be made in April 2011 with hand over in mid February 2012.

Austin has concluded work on the site-wide planning and design of a new vaccine manufacturing facility in Korea. The plant will be a dual purpose unit to deal with commercial production and also contract manufacturing. The design will meet the local current regulatory compliance requirements (KGMP), Europe (EU-GMP) and USA (cGMP).

The facility will contain API manufacturing, finished product manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, automated product cold store, administration areas and support, waste water treatment, warehouse, packaging and shipping areas.

To find out how workplaces will change over this decade we turned to Robert Naylor-Stables, Architect, Director of Facilities Development at Austin UK and one of the first cohort of RIBA Client Design Advisors. He told us that changing values are bringing about pressure to humanise the workplace. He invites leaders to re-think radically for future high performance.

How do you see workplace trends evolving in the next ten years?
How do you define the workplace?
Do work environments really make such a difference?
