### Lot Information

Lot 1

Researchers at the Scottish Oceans Institute have been awarded grant funding by an external body to facilitate the rehabilitation and provision of aspects of the existing facility. The University has supplemented this external funding and other avenues of potential funding are being explored at this time. The core, pressing requirement of the SOI at this time has been distilled to a vision that involves the redevelopment of aquaria facilities to support research activities now an those envisaged in the future. The facility will provide new accommodation that will be located along the sea front edge of the existing 1995 and Wellcome buildings and will require the removal of the existing Victorian building. A preliminary enabling works contract will be undertaken by the University prior to any construction works being commenced. These works include service and utility diversions necessary to permit the construction of the proposal and necessary phased demolition of areas of existing buildings. The existing Victorian building currently houses the majority of Aquaria facilities and this must in part be maintained during the initial phase of the construction which will provide the new Aquaria facility. Once this is fully functional, commissioned, Home Office approved and handed over to the SOI, the existing aquaria will be relocated to the new facility thus clearing the existing Victorian building of all aquaria facilities to allow this to be removed. The ongoing operation of scientific activity is key to the success of this project.
