Klick Deliver Client's Vision for State-of-the-Art Lab Facility

Klick worked closely with Cyprotex to deliver a 32,000 sq ft facility at Alderley Park, with 12 laboratories across three floors. Flexible laboratory furniture and integrated services provide an adaptable environment for evolving research needs.

Project Brief
Cyprotex is a contract research organisation specialising in pharmaceutical, biotech, personal care and chemical research. Having outgrown its existing premises, the company planned to expand into a new 32,000 sq ft facility at Alderley Science Park, designed to support future growth over the next 10–20 years.

Lab Design Includes Bespoke Furniture for Heavy Equipment:
Klick worked closely with the team at Cyprotex to refine the design and plan the installation of the specialist laboratory furniture across 12 laboratories over three floors.

Due to the scale and complexity of the project, the laboratory design phase was extensive. Klick developed bespoke laboratory furniture ranging from low-level benching for specialist equipment to heavy-duty workstations designed to support machinery weighing up to 250kg.

Bespoke features were designed to improve efficiency and maximise usable bench space. These included lab workbenches with anti vibration feet, low-profile service spines, integrated cable access ports and a flexible cable management system. Trespa worktops and stainless steel frameworks were selected for their durability, ease of cleaning and suitability for high-use laboratory applications.

Laboratory Furniture Design to Maximise Flexibility:
Flexibility was a key priority throughout the laboratory fit-out. Mobile lab benching, storage systems and mobile cabinets allow workspaces to be quickly reconfigured as operational requirements evolve. To improve ergonomics and accommodate different users, some laboratory benching was manufactured at a higher working height.

Freestanding reagent shelves and service integration beneath the benches allow scientists to position equipment and consumables wherever required.

The completed laboratory fit-out provides Cyprotex with a highly adaptable, future-focused facility designed to support evolving scientific processes and continued growth.
