Retrofit

The Brief and The Reality

The client needed a MOD-classified secure workspace incorporated into an existing, functioning office environment. Standard office fit-outs are not designed to meet classified requirements – access control, soundproofing, structural reinforcement, and secure communications all needed to be added into an occupied building, without the option of a full shutdown.

How 360DS Approached It Differently

360 DS retrofitted the space to full MOD classified specification: advanced access controls, reinforced structural elements, soundproofing, and cutting-edge surveillance and secure communication systems. Careful phased planning ensured the surrounding office remained operational throughout. The result is a workspace that is fully compliant, practically invisible within the existing office environment, and immediately ready for sensitive work.

What Changed For Them

MOD classified compliance delivered.

The space meets all MOD classified requirements - access control, soundproofing, structure, and communications - fully certified.

Business continuity maintained.

Surrounding operations were unaffected throughout the works - no shutdown, no loss of output.

Confidentiality built in.

Soundproofing and physical separation ensure the space provides genuine operational security, not just procedural compliance.

Ready to use from day one.

A seamless blend of security and productivity - personnel moved in and started sensitive work immediately on completion.
