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.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Hannan Associates are very pleased to have been part of the team who delivered Conwy County Borough Council’s new 100,000 sq ft Civic Offices in Colwyn Bay Town Centre after Muse Developments were chosen as the preferred development partner for the scheme during 2015.

The four storey, 100,000 sq ft office building has enabled the council to operate more efficiently and improve services for customers by consolidating staff and services into fewer sites.

The new building is BREEAM 2014 Excellent with an A rated Energy Performance Certificate. Passive design measures to reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption include enhanced insulation to the building envelope and engineered facade design.

The glazed proportion of the building façade and the central atrium maximizes natural daylight to offset the demand for lighting whilst at the same time high performance glazing minimizes thermal losses. To further reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption, the building’s heating and cooling is produced via air source heat pumps, highly efficient LED lighting and roof mounted photovoltaic arrays.

The project won the ‘Regeneration’ category and was also shortlisted for the ‘Design Through Innovation’ category at the RICS Awards 2019, Wales. It has also won the ‘Best Large Commercial Project’ award at the North Wales LABC Building Excellence Awards 2019. It was shortlisted for a BCO Northern Award 2019 in the ‘Corporate Workplace’ category and an Insider Property Awards 2019 Wales for ‘Development of the Year’.
