The Smithfield Scheme Transforming the Future of Stoke

The Smithfield Scheme Transforming the Future of Stoke

The £200M Smithfield mixed use quarter in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent is being developed by Genr8 Developments in joint partnership with Stoke City Council.

The development includes the Clayworks build to rent scheme, which Genr8 are developing in partnership with Fortior Homes. Clayworks includes 151 high quality one and two bedroom apartments, providing much needed living spaces in a central location.

The Hannan residential team are very pleased to be providing Stage 3 Building Services Design and specification for the Clayworks Development.

We are working alongside Cartwright Pickard Architects, Planit IE and Buro Happold on the design team and Pochin has been appointed as the main contractor.

The overall Smithfield masterplan incorporates Grade A office space, a Hilton Garden Inn hotel, retail and leisure space and new public realm. The scheme provides a crucial link to other existing areas, bringing the city together into a coherent whole and helping to position Stoke as a leading destination to live, work, invest and visit.

The project is under construction and due for completion in late 2019.

The diversity of facilities housed within the building posed significant challenges for us and the team. Our role in the design of the building, which was delivered as BIM level 2 included providing the detailed designed of the MEP Services and Infrastructure. We also assisted Tameside Council with their environmental services strategy helping them to meet their aspirations for sustainable buildings and development in Tameside.

The development delivery team included Ryder ArchitectureCurtins Consulting, SES Engineering and Robertson Group, who took over from Carillion after the company collapsed.

Newbury Racecourse Heartspace Redevelopment Complete

Newbury Racecourse Heartspace Redevelopment Complete

Hannan Associates have been part of the team redeveloping Newbury Racecourse since 2010. During this time we have contributed to the design and construction of several new facilities and witnessed first-hand the benefits that these new facilities have provided the racecourse and its visitors.

The redevelopment of the Heartspace is now complete and available for use by racegoers. The Heartspace scheme focused on the redevelopment of the heart of the racecourse, undertaken in phases to ensure racing has been able to continue unaffected.  Phases one and two were completed in Summer 2017 and included the construction of a new Owners Club to provide hospitality space and office accommodation, re-location of the Pre-Parade Ring and Saddling Stalls and a new East Entrance building.  The final phase of works included a new South Entrance building, 2nr. Totes, landscaping and re-modelling of the Parade Ring and Winners Enclosure.

We have acted for Newbury Racecourse as their retained MEP consultants providing Stage 3 Developed Design for each phase and monitoring the construction works on site.  Our appointment also involved utilities infrastructure planning to ensure sufficient utilities were available to suit each phase of the redevelopment which involved close liaison with the contractor to ensure all necessary facilities remained open for racedays.  The Owners Club achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating upon completion and incorporates LZC technologies such as photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps.

Works will continue at the Racecourse during 2019 – the existing Pall Mall building has been demolished with further construction works intended to improve hospitality offerings to racegoers.

We worked alongside KKA ArchitectureArcadis, and TRP Consulting on the project design team.
