Members of the board at UK technology centre SATRA are said to be “very impressed” with the progress being made at the new 24,000 square foot extension to its Wyndham Way laboratory and office complex.

Due to be completed this summer, the complex will provide space for a new 8,000 square-foot furniture and floor coverings laboratory, will offer opportunities to expand SATRA’s research and flammability activities, and will provide space for the development of new SATRA activities over the next five years.

SATRA first moved to the Wyndham Way site in 1997 and the latest development, costing £2 million, represents the largest single investment ever undertaken by the centre in its 88-year history.
