Royal Opera House, Covent Garden

Mechanical Refurbishment

Partnering with Playfords, Munro Building Services worked as part of a collaborative team to deliver mechanical upgrades to the entrance and foyer areas of the Linbury Theatre at the Royal Opera House.

Alterations to the existing riser in the plant room needed diverting to enable structural alterations for other planned plant room improvements, whilst in the foyer area the ceiling redesign, incorporating an architectural coffered ceiling, houses the new MEP services within a hidden central spine.

The new services subsequently feed back to a services hub to the rear of the foyer area where the new heating, ventilation and cooling systems are located.

3D modelling was used for this key element to plot the layout of both Mechanical and Electrical services which was critical to ensure a well-planned, spatially coordinated installation within the restricted area of the spine.
