Stainless steel products for the new school of veterinary medicine at the University of Central Lancashire

New first class research and education facility

The new School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Central Lancashire opened in June 2025 and is one of only eleven in the country that will support first-class research and education. The facility offers foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes covering veterinary medicine, bioveterinary science, veterinary physiotherapy and rehabilitation and veterinary clinical practice.

Stainless steel anatomy tables

The centrepiece of the project for us was a large, height-adjustable animal table manufactured in stainless steel and designed to safely support a working load of 1000kg while also having a range of motion of +/-250 mm. Before dispatch, we rigorously tested the table by placing a 1025kg stainless steel coil on it for 16 hours, an endurance test it passed with ease.

Custom stainless steel scrub troughs

Additionally, on this project, we worked closely with our customer, Cu-Plas, and Ameon Building Services (Cu-Plas’s customer) to develop a custom set of scrub troughs based on our Trinidad Scrub design.

Each unit featured a fabricated tap box, with select models designed to be height-adjustable to accommodate students with accessibility needs.

We also supplied units from our Ibiza inset range and Jersey sit-on sinks, all of which are designed to meet HBN 00-10 Part C requirements.
