Sustainable
The emphasis for this development is on sustainability. Rather than demolishing the old and starting afresh, we take our responsibilities in the face of the climate emergency seriously. We are creating 50,000 sq ft of hi-spec tech and office workspaces by retrofitting and repurposing wherever we can to save on embodied carbon.

By retaining the existing buildings, significant reductions in carbon emissions are achieved in the construction process versus demolition and new build.

The design uses materials that are as sustainable as possible, while at the same time maximising the energy efficiency of the buildings
