Forest Research Entomology & Pathology Quarantine Labs.

Architon LLP’s involvement in this scheme follows their appointment in March 2017 as part of Mott MacDonald’s design team for the new EPQL project at Alice Holt, know as the Holt Laboratory.

The Holt Laboratory represents a significant expansion of the UK’s capacity and capability to combat tree pests and diseases and manage emerging threats, including climate change. By assessing the pests and pathogens in a contained laboratory, scientists from Forest Research will be able to study them in a safe and controlled manner using cutting-edge technology and equipment.

Following the success of this project, Architon have now been appointed by FR to carry out a number of additional site wide projects.
