The project involved the refurbishment of 32,000ft2 of office space to Category A standard when the previous tenant vacated the premises.
Green Building Design was employed by the landlord to survey the building and produce a design for the new Category A space reusing the existing services wherever possible. In addition to the office space, the project also involved the refurbishment of the main building reception and core sanitary facilities.
The survey revealed that the basement had undergone significant ingress of water over the years, leading to extensive corrosion of the main switch panel and electrical intake transformer. As a result, the basement was tanked to prevent future ingress and a new transformer and switch panel for the building were installed as part of the refurbishment.
The design and refurbishment took place over a period of eight months.
