Plymouth University Students Union
Fitout
Overview
We carried out 2 projects for the Students Union building which is underground. The first was the refurbishment of the large student union bar and the following year we completely refurbished the large commercial kitchen.
The design team worked closely with the estates department to solve the challenging route of the commercial kitchen extraction from underground up into the central courtyard. Full construction plans were submitted for approval from the estates.
The installation team carried out the complete refurbishment of the bar to include the electrical and mechanical works, flooring, decorating and supply and installation of the bar and rear bar fixtures. For the commercial kitchen, the installation team carried out the hygienic wall cladding, works to the drainage and full electrical and mechanical works. We worked closely with the kitchen appliances and stainless steel furniture supplier for a hassle free installation. Black Circle have carried out 2 x projects for Plymouth University – the main SU Bar and the large commercial kitchen.

Bar St James
Fitout
Overview
The Black Circle installation team were invited to tender for the fit out of a new bar in Swansea, starting with a large 5 bedroom house. Competing against 2 local construction companies Black Circle proved the most competitive and were instructed to carry out the works.
Numerous existing structural walls were removed and replaced with deep foundations for the new structural steel work, whilst keeping the existing ground floor and 1st floor ceilings complete with the original ornate mouldings. The 1st floors were strengthened to accommodate large public capacity, and doorways
widened to comply with fire regulations. Full internal fit out to include the 2 x bespoke bars. External landscaping works to accommodate a large patio area.
