SCIENCE, LEARNING, LIGHTING & THEATRE sectors.

Its director, Paul Nicholson, has 30 years experience helping international clients through briefing, analysis, vision and concept design to delivery of world-class science and research facilities.

Working with You

With experience of working with world-class companies and universities to help them realise opportunities and vision in their facilities and sites, CPNA will work with you at the very front end of project definition and briefing to explore potential solutions. Often, innovation comes from a thorough analysis of the constraints and opportunities and then the freedom of thought to propose solutions.

​

Where necessary CPNA can draw upon engineers, cost, validation and regulatory consultants to augment its service.

Laboratory space planning, designing to accommodate change and improving the interaction on a site by creating a campus for science are all services that Paul Nicholson has delivered for previous clients.
