An outdoor worksite with a crane and people wearing hard hats You're probably already aware of just how complex the UCL estate is. But do you know how complex our buildings and their technical systems are on the inside? It's something we love about UCL. We have ultra-modern spaces like the Student Centre next door to historic, listed sites such as the Wilkins and Cruciform Buildings, and design icons such as the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies Library. We recently caught up with a few members of the Campus Experience & Infrastructure team to learn more about how their staff keep UCL's varied estate up and running. Paulo Rossetto, Building Services Engineer (Project Manager) and his Project Team recently installed a new steam boiler plant for a research lab at a UCL building complex outside of London. As a mixed-use space, some areas of the site are used as office and storage space, while other areas contain highly technical lab equipment with specific heating, cooling, and humidity requirements. Until this year, the whole complex had been run on the same ageing steam plant.
