HSBC UK, 1 Centenary Square, Arena Central Birmingham

PROJECT OVERVIEW

1 Centenary Square, now home to HSBC is part of Arena Central, a £500 million mixed-use development scheme in Birmingham city centre being developed by Arena Central Developments LLP, a joint venture led by Kier.
Hannan Associates are proud to be providing Building Services Engineering consultancy for the development scheme.

The 210,000 sq ft, 10 storey, Grade A office building accommodates around 2,500 employees, with high quality flexible working and break out spaces.

We took the lead role in liaising with the occupiers’ technical advisors in order to obtain their specific technical requirements for the MEP services installations, which were agreed, costed and accommodated within the building design within a very short timescale.

This ensured successful delivery of the complex MEP services installations, which provide excellent internal environmental comfort conditions for the occupants and help achieve LEED Gold accreditation for the building, the first in the city.

The MEP services include full standby back-up generators, which also supports the heating, cooling and ventilation systems. This means that the MEP services within the building will continue to operate in the event of a full power outage of the incoming electrical supply to ensure business operations are unaffected and can continue as normal, which is a critical requirement of HSBC.

We worked alongside Make Architects, Gillespies Landscape Architects, Arcadis and WSP on the design team and main contractor Galliford Try.

The project won the ‘Commercial’ category at the RICS Awards 2019, West Midlands.

Riverside House, New Bailey Salford

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Hannan Associates are very pleased to be part of the team involved in the redevelopment of Riverside House at New Bailey, Salford for our client The English Cities Fund.

Riverside House is a four storey, 11,000 sq ft office building, which includes the retention of two sides of the 19th Century facade from the pre-existing building, thought to date back to around the mid 1800’s when it was the Royal Veteran Tavern located behind the site of the Old Bailey Prison.

As part of our duties we provided BREEAM 2014 assessment services and MEP Perfomance Duties for the CAT A installations which expanded to include the CAT B fit out for Muse Developments who are taking 2 floors of the building.

We carried out thermal modelling and system optioneering to conclude the best scheme to meet the Client requirements.

The MEP services strategy was based on chilled beams providing comfort cooling, which helps limit the maintenance requirements within the space and offers the tenants high comfort levels, good space acoustics & low annual running costs. Detailed co-ordination of the exposed services achieved a more visually appealing, quality finish, which helps meet higher end market requirements. The design also included roof mounted photovoltaic arrays, which provides the building with a source of renewable energy.

The retention of the Victorian Gothic style facade gives the building a real sense of place and history and helps to create a gateway to New Bailey. Utilising the floor void for ventilation helped to maintain floor levels which suited the existing façade.

The project won ‘Fit Out of Workplace’ at the 2020 BCO Awards and ‘Design in Excellence’ at the 2020 Insider Property North West Awards.

No. 11 York Street

 

PROJECT OVERVIEW

We worked with Kier Property and AHR Architects, for the redevelopment of 40 Fountain Street in Manchester City Centre. The new Grade A office building has been renamed as 11 York Street, and is designed to target the commercial, professional and financial services office sector.

Works comprise the demolition of an existing five-storey office building, and the construction of a new 79,000 sq ft, eight-storey building which incorporates double height main entrance lobby, private business lounge, 2nr ground floor retail units finished to shell specification and basement car parking.

The building has been designed to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating as measured under BREEAM 2011 New Construction criteria, also achieving an ‘A’ Rated EPC. The MEP services installations have been designed in accordance with BCO Recommendations to maximise the flexibility of the CAT A open plan office space and to facilitate the possible sub-division of the floor plates into two independent tenancy areas, on a floor-by-floor basis.

As Kier Property’s retained MEP Consultant, we reviewed construction information and visited site regularly to report quality of MEP services installations.

Stockport Exchange Redevelopment

Stockport Exchange Redevelopment

Stockport Exchange Redevelopment

PROJECT OVERVIEW

We are part of Muse Development’s team, selected as Stockport’s development partner. Stockport Council bought the site in order to create a gateway from the train station to the town centre.

The development includes a high quality office quarter, an attractive public realm area, a hotel, retail units, ease of access to the town centre, and improved car parking for the station.

For Phase 1 of the development we were involved in the design of a new 1,000 space multi-storey car park.

For Phase 2 we were involved in the design and construction of No.1 Stockport Exchange – a 50,000 sq ft office block, a 115 bedroom Holiday Inn Express Hotel, a new pedestrianized public space outside the train station and a new reconfigured road layout to improve station access.

Phase 3 of the development included No.2 Stockport Exchange – a new six-storey, 60,000 sq ft, Grade A office. The building incorporates environmentally friendly design features such as a green roof, photovoltaic panels, LED lighting and ultra-low water consuming fittings. Features include the use of natural daylight and enhanced fabric to minimise the building’s carbon emissions, creating a reduction in its indirect impact on climate change. Our analysis of the scheme included the consideration of connecting the development to Stockport’s proposed heat network.

Proposed plans for Phase 4 include the design and construction of a 64,000 sq ft Grade A office building and 400-space multi-storey car park.

All the buildings have been designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating.

The scheme won in the Commercial Category at the 2018 RICS Awards, ‘Public/Private Partnership of the Year’ at the 2017 Insider North West Property Awards and was nominated for a 2018 BCO Award.
