Our ability at Bryden Wood to model using unusually large and varied data sets gives us a uniquely multi-dimensional perspective on problems.

Maswiken recognises that the building’s sense of spaciousness comes from the fact that the hospital benefits from such a ‘well thought out design.’ ‘We’re very lucky with our building and the set up,’ he says.‘You don’t feel claustrophobic at all.’.

Goel says that from his perspective it’s all very well organised.‘The radiology is very close by.Physiotherapy’s really close by.

So it’s easy to get hold of people.’.Of the building’s general layout, Kirsty Cobden comments that usefully, ‘Everything goes round in a circle.

There are no dead ends, so you don’t have to go back on yourself.

You just keep going all the way round.’.Illumina is a high-tech company, based in the USA but with a very large UK presence.

We first met Illumina because they were building their new UK HQ – a very large laboratory building – on Quanta Park, where we were already active.We were called in to assist with the mechanical and electrical engineering aspect of the project where additional technical input was required, to sit with the client and tie the various elements together, assess why it was going wrong, and help secure its completion and commissioning.. Illumina specialise in DNA sequencing.

DNA analysis is a complex and data-intensive business.Every sequence generates six terabytes of data, and Illumina’s HQ houses about 80 sequencers, running around the clock, generating significant amounts of heat.
