Executive Summary<\/h2>\n
\n

OCS, formerly FES FM and Support Services, played a key role in delivering the University of Strathclyde<\/a>\u2019s \u00a389m Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC) in the heart of Glasgow. Appointed as the Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) Contractor, we provided complete design, coordination and installation services across the nine-storey, 260,000 sq ft facility.<\/p>\n

The first centre of its kind in Europe, TIC brings together researchers, academics and industry to tackle global energy, health and advanced engineering challenges. The building anchors Scotland\u2019s International Technology and Renewable Energy Zone, driving green innovation and economic growth.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n
