Providing high quality accommodation for 1,300 people, this 20,000m2, three-storey, open-plan office has an interconnecting covered street, a 150-seat lecture theatre and a caf area.
The implementation of low-energy, low-impact engineering systems included displacement ventilation using a floor void supply air plenum, a heat sink via the exposed concrete soffit and intelligent lighting using presence- and daylight-controlled luminaires. The building s orientation and fa ade are also designed to reduce solar heat gain, and good insulation values minimise heat loss.
