The Government Property Agency’s (GPA) Birmingham Hub at 23 Stephenson Street, delivered in partnership with AECOM, AtkinsRéalis, landlord La Salleand developer Evenacre, showcases the power of bringing government departments together in a regional location. Procured through the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Framework, the office has been hailed as the best in the agency’s portfolio, having gained Leesman+ certification for employee wellbeing and a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ sustainability rating – all while enhancing efficiency and improving public access to vital services. 💚 ISG’s new research paper – developed with the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) - makes the economic case that by delivering projects like these alongside a focus on investing in physical spaces that support innovation activities, would boost UK GDP by £44bn, and catapult the UK up the global productivity league table.

We recently completed work on the design and construction of Harris Academy sixth form in Rainham, procured through the Department for Education (DfE) framework 🏫 The new build sixth form offers a response to the lack of post-16 education places in the surrounding area, with the completed project now able to accommodate up to 400 students. The completed project consists of private study areas, a library, dining spaces, ICT suites, science laboratories and state-of-the-art spaces for design and technology. The sixth form also incorporates inclusive design elements for students with special educational needs, with specialist rooms featuring adjustable lighting and soundproofing to create sensory-friendly environments. Strong collaboration and early engagement between project partners ensured transparency and accountability, which led to an early project handover, facilitating a smooth transition for the students into the new learning environment. 🔗 Read more about the project here: https://ow.ly/9bJv50SxGwC #Construction #frameworks #DfE

We are looking forward to Peter Kelly's presentation this week at the sustainable buildings and estates forum, which will take place at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield.    Sustainability impacts every aspect from planning, design and construction on new and existing facilities. Our 'Entopia Building' project which we delivered for Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), is an outstanding example of how we took a former 1930s Telephone Exchange and transformed it into an ultra-low carbon sustainability hub, a world's first for retrofit.   To hear more about the project from Peter, you can register to attend here ➡ https://lnkd.in/eZuEWJCc   #LowCarbonRetrofit #Passivhaus #NetZeroCarbon
