Work Begins on Blackpool Civil Service Office Hub

by | Feb 10, 2023 | Blog

Vinci Construction UK have commenced work on a new, £100m office building in Blackpool, which forms part of the third phase of the Talbot Gateway regeneration scheme led by Muse Developments.

When complete the seven storey, 215,000 sq ft office building will become home to over 3000 staff from the Department of Work and Pensions.

Hannan Associates are providing Building Services Engineering Consultancy including operational energy modelling via advanced dynamic simulation modelling and BREEAM assessor duties for the building. 

The building has been designed to be ultra-low energy with no fossil fuels used. Low-carbon heating and cooling to the office will be provided via high efficiency chillers and air source heat pumps. Demand-driven ventilation will also be provided, helping to improve indoor air quality while saving energy during periods of reduced occupancy. Domestic hot water will be generated via water to water heat pumps and a photovoltaic array at roof level will generate electricity on-site.

The building has been designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and is anticipated to complete in March 2025.

We are pleased to be part of Muse Development’s design team working alongside Make Architects, RPS, Chroma, Arup and main contractor VINCI Construction UK.

Hannan Associates were also part of the team who designed and delivered the first phase of Talbot Gateway, which included Blackpool Council’s home, the award winning Bickerstaffe House.

It has been a pleasure working with you during the last year, we truly value the relationships and enjoy the challenges each project brings us.

We are as ever very thankful for the high level of repeat business we receive and the many interesting projects we are involved with. Despite all the turbulence of 2022 we feel very fortunate to have had another busy and rewarding year. But none of this could be possible without the continued hard work and commitment of our loyal team.

Instead of sending Christmas cards & gifts this year, we have made donations to Claire’s House, The Trussell Trust and Streetlife. Three very worthy charities who do a brilliant job of making a tangible impact on the lives of those who need support.
