Leading multidisciplinary Preston-based practice has played a pivotal role in the £1.8 million expansion of dental teaching facilities at the University of Lancashire.
The extension to the Allen Building at the university campus, supported by the FWP firm, aims to support student dentists in their learning.
The upgrade has increased the number of dental clinical teaching bays from 16 to 24, with funding from the Office for Students.

The architecture, design, and master planning practice FWP in Preston provided project management towards the extension as well as quantity surveying, contract administration, and interior design services.
As well as extending the number of specialist bays, the development work also saw the creation of a new entrance to the facility and a plant enclosure to be HTM compliant.
FWP Partner Nick Wiley said: “We were delighted to project manage a development. That will see even more students receive clinical training as they go on to become the next generation of dental professionals that we need here in the North West.
“The expanded facility is a fantastic asset, and we have worked closely with the university team throughout the development programme to deliver something that is really cutting edge.”
FWP’s work with the university of Lancashire has shown through their Moot Court upgrade, allowing law students to have a modern mock courtroom to sharpen out their skills.
