The team at Niche is delighted to announce that we have been appointed to carry out the office design and build project The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3).  The 12,500 sqf project was secured under competitive tender conditions in which the Institute had met with a total of seven design and build companies.

Niche was appointed due to our ability to design a unique and inspirational workplace which not only offered a fantastic working environment for staff and high quality, impressive conference facilities for its members, but also within the client’s budget.

The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) is a major UK engineering institution whose activities encompass the whole materials cycle, from exploration and extraction through to characterisation, processing, forming, finishing and application, to product recycling and to land reuse. It exists to promote and develop all aspects of materials science and engineering, geology, mining and associated technologies, mineral and petroleum engineering and extraction metallurgy, as a leading authority in the worldwide materials and mining community.

Design Director Richard Kopman comments “We are thrilled to have secured this contract with such a high profile organisation. We look forward to commencing the project delivering for IOM3 an office that they, and we, can be proud of having collaborated on.”  The project joins the growing list of trade associations, membership bodies and not for profit organisations that have chosen to work with Niche.

We look forward to delivering another fit out project to a high standard, the Niche standard.
