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.

Coed Pella, Colwyn Bay

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’.
