LSE Old Building

• Sector: Education
• Contractor: Overbury
• Location: London

Stemko have been privileged to partner with long standing client Overbury on this fantastic refurbishment and modernisation project for the LSE’s Old Building. The key objectives of the project were to accommodate the academic departments of Anthropology, Sociology & Social Policy to improve the student and staff experience, whilst working to preserve and enhance the rich history of the Old Building. The refurbishment works provided an opportunity to de-carbonise the existing building in line with LSE’s ambitious and market-leading zero carbon targets.

Stemko worked with Overbury to provide modern doorsets that were sympathetically designed to maintain the heritage design, look and feel of the building. This included project specific assessments to ensure seamless fire rated compliance of the bespoke designed doorsets.

In total, 185 timber doorsets and 44 four-sided concealed steel riser doors were installed. The timber doors incorporated bespoke details, and architrave, with PVD coated ironmongery resulting in a stunning finish.

Overbury was the Main Contractor, along with Hawkins Brown Architects.
