The Science Museum, London: Engineered wood flooring for the Dana Research Centre and Library

The Solid Wood Flooring Company worked with Coffey Architects to help create the engineered wooden floor to their specification for the Science Museum in London.

Coffey Architects have often been voted the Young Architects of the Year, and this is one of the many prestigious projects we have worked on with them. The Dana Research Centre and Library provides access to over 500,000 documents for researchers, staff and the public, and is the first part of the campus overhaul to be completed, with the final phase of the project expected to finish in 2019.

“This fantastic new centre offers free public access to world-class library and archive collections for science and engineering, as well as providing flexible space for the museum’s doctoral candidates and researchers to work alongside our amazing collection on a day-to-day basis,” said Nick Wyatt, who is head of the museum’s library and archives.

Frontline Flooring installed and finished the floor in accordance with the specification. The boards used were our select grade 260mm wide and 340mm wide unfinished. Once works were completed, they were finished with a special bare timber product to seal the boards without changing the colour of the White Oak.
