Scope of works: Oliver Connell & Son Ltd carried out the groundworks and RC Frame at 6-8 Alie Street in Whitechapel for the Royal College of Pathologists on a congested site on the edge of the City of London. The walls and columns had a high quality finish with elements constructed using a boarded finish. The slabs were constructed with bespoke coffers form Cordek. The building has seven storeys, with a basement providing catering facilities for the offices and conference suites on the ground floor through to level six.
