An award-winning refurbishment of a high-profile 1930s art deco building in Stepney Green to form 5,000 sq.m. of office space, relocating the QMUL, Estates and Facilities department.
The space was created over four floors and was procured as a Design & Build scheme, complete with new outdoor roof terraces and planting on each level.
The site was designed around encouraging collaboration. Every meeting room is fitted with facilities to host blended meetings, where attendees are both physically present and remote, so that distance is no barrier to colleagues easily working together. The open-plan office space is built for hot-desking with ample collaborative working spaces and dedicated quiet spaces for calls and face-to-face meetings.
The works comprised extensive M&E services to suit a modern office environment whilst being sympathetic and retaining the architectural features of the existing building. The works also included the creation of a café for both client and public use.
