Mann Island, Liverpool

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Situated between the ‘Three Graces’ and Albert Dock, Mann Island is a RIBA award-winning mixed-use development which reconnects Liverpool’s city centre to its historic waterfront.

Hannan Associates were responsible for the detail design of the Building Services systems, for the new commercial building within the complex. The building provides 172,000 sq ft of comfort cooled office space over 14 floors. The block is part of a scheme that opens up access to previously enclosed dockland areas, to create three new publics spaces, two fourteen-storey residential buildings, retail, leisure, and exhibition spaces.

Our involvement included the base build Category A works to meet the Development brief and the Category B fit out to meet the requirements of Mersey Travel which includes an exhibition space on the ground floor.

The internal environment is controlled by a highly efficient VRF comfort cooling system, which incorporates renewable energy content. The design achieved BREEAM Excellent rating and won a 2015 RIBA North West Award.

St Pauls Square, Liverpool

PROJECT OVERVIEW

We are very proud to be part of the BCO award winning team that designed Building 4 at St Paul’s Square in Liverpool. The building designed by Architects RHWL and Muse Developments won ‘Commercial Workplace’ at the North of England Awards. The project also won Development of the Year at the the 2011 RICS North West awards.

St Pauls Square totals 1,650,000 sq ft of mixed-use space, incorporating offices, retail, cafes, restaurants and 285 new homes in the city centre of Liverpool. We provided the enhanced performance specification and monitoring for phases 2 and 3.

No. 4 St Paul’s Square is an 8 storey, 109,000 sq ft, Grade A office building which achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating.

No. 5 St Paul’s Square is a 133,000 sq ft Grade A office building, which was designed specifically to minimise energy usage, associated carbon production and utilise its own infrastructure to obtain a minimum of 10% of the building’s energy requirements, from an onsite renewable source.

This was achieved via the use of ground water source heat pumps, which provide the buildings heating and cooling. Overall the building achieved a 32% reduction in Carbon through a combination of passive and renewable measures. The building achieved a BREEAM Very Good rating

Ship Canal House, Manchester

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project involved the refurbishment of the Grade II listed Ship Canal House, an existing 10 story office building situated on King Street in Manchester City Centre.

The building was built in 1924 for the Manchester Ship Canal Company headquarters and at the time was one of the tallest office blocks in the UK.

It was designed by architect Harry S Fairhurst in a neo-classical style and displays Art-Deco and Edwardian Baroque motifs.

Phase One of the project incorporated the refurbishment of the ground floor reception area, third and eighth floors.

The existing Mechanical & Electrical services were stripped out and new services were installed on these floors. The Phase Two works incorporated the full refurbishment of all the remaining floors excluding the two remaining tenanted areas on the fourth floor.

Doncaster Civic Quarter

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Phase 1 of the £330 M Doncaster Civic Quarter regeneration scheme included the construction of a new 157,500 sq ft civic office building, performance venue, public realm area and refurbished multi storey car park. We undertook the MEP Design for the refurbishment of the 850space multi-storey car park.

The car park was highly praised at the British Parking Awards, narrowly missing out on the best refurbishment award.

We also undertook Client Representative monitoring duties of the MEP services installations during the construction phase of the Civic office building which was designed to achieve a BREEAM excellent rating. The building was highly serviced and incorporated a low energy natural/mixed mode ventilation strategy.

Cumbria County Council Offices

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This £10.4m office building in Carlisle, is the new headquarter offices for Cumbria County Council, and will form an essential component in the council’s transformation.

The aspiration of the Council was to occupy a building which is sustainable, and integrates passive design, low energy technologies and reduced maintenance requirements. In response the primary focus of the design of the building, and the associated MEP services installations was to maximise natural ventilation, natural day lighting, minimise heat gains within the building and incorporate renewable and low energy technologies in order to reduce energy consumption and the associated production of carbon dioxide.

The building services installations contribute to the overall sustainability of the building by incorporating renewable, low energy systems and sustainable technologies such as;
• Natural/Mixed Mode Ventilation
• Variable Refrigerant Flow simultaneous sheeting & cooling systems to cellular spaces
• Free cooling using outside air
• Night time cooling
• LED lighting technology
• Rainwater harvesting to serve flushing cisterns
• Roof mounted photovoltaics

The mechanical and electrical services are designed to maximise flexibility of the open plan office space and to facilitate the possible future sub division of the office area.
