Overview
As with all refurbishment projects, it came with its challenges, and changes!
The first building to be refurbished was the Hospitality Block, which was originally scoped to be a tidy up of the existing Category 5e data cabling, along with the addition 70 new where required within a 6 week programme. Upon closer inspection of the existing infrastructure, it was agreed with Willmott Dixon and the University of West London that it wasn’t up to the standards required to meet the Future Campus Project. After a quick re-design of the Comms Room and containment, and the complete strip-out of the building, we installed a new Brand Rex Cat6Plus Cabling System totalling 882 Outlets, still within the 6 week programme!
Next came the refurbishment of A and B Blocks for the University’s new Library Space, scoped at 787 Cat6Plus Outlets, which soon changed to 2010 Outlets, being served from 4 new purpose built Comms Rooms!
The Heartspace was the new building, which linked everything together, in which we have installed 464 Brand Rex Cat6Plus Outlets, fed from 3 different Comms Rooms.
One part of the project was the Teaching Centre, which was a tidy up of the existing Category 5e Infrastructure over the summer of 2015.
The main project was a new building called Heartspace that connects with five existing buildings that have also been updated.
The refurbished buildings that connect to Heartspace include a new library, refectory and bookshop.
Importantly, this work was delivered in a live environment, with students and staff on site, which was carefully managed by Willmott Dixon.
”Their organisational skills and ultimately professionalism displayed at all times in coordinating all aspects of our CCTV installs for the various projects demonstrates the highest echelons of customer care delivery. We are very grateful for their contributions and support.

”Over the past few years we have worked closely with Whitestar on various CCTV installations. I am delighted, to feedback and commend them for the excellent way they manage these projects, from the moment CCTV cameras are supplied to the installations and commissioning. Their dedication, quality of work and communication with me is exemplary. They remain calm, unperturbed by changes and always focus on producing the best outputs from the system.
