Hannan Associates are very pleased to be providing Building Services Design for Blackburn town centre’s major new office development within the Cathedral Quarter regeneration project.
Maple Grove Developments and architects BDP have secured planning permission for the second commercial building at Cathedral Square comprising 30,000 sq ft nett Grade A office space and ground floor level retail space.
This project follows on from the successful development of One Cathedral Square, the 35,000 sq ft office building now owned by L&G Property which has been fully let to Blackburn with Darwen Council. Maple Grove, who are part of the Eric Wright Group, are Blackburn and Darwen Council’s chosen development partner for the Cathedral Quarter regeneration scheme.
Offices, in all forms, have been at the core of our business for over 30 years. Whether it be speculative offices designed to meet basic needs and functions or highly customized office space designed to meet the requirements of a particular end user. Often these buildings provide us with the opportunity to create innovative and sustainable designs that contribute towards the wider regeneration of our towns and cities.
Our engineers understand what our clients and tenants expect and need from the 21st Century workplace – a building which is more environmentally sustainable, flexible and space & cost efficient.
Hannan Associates are very proud to be Building Services Design consultants for so much of the regeneration of Salford Central.
The £650 million scheme, which is transforming the New Bailey and Chapel Street areas of Salford is led by the English Cities Fund, a joint venture between Muse Developments, Legal & General and Homes England in conjunction with Salford City Council.
The video below shows just how much has been achieved during the last five years and just how much there is still to come.
We feel very lucky to be part of the talented teams involved in delivering all of these projects.
One of our newest clients is Ronald McDonald House Charity, who we are very proud to have been providing Building Services Design consultancy for during the last year at their Manchester and Oxford sites.
The Charity helps families to stay close to their child in hospital while they undergo medical treatment by giving them a warm and welcoming environment where they can stay for as long as they need.
At the Manchester Ronald McDonald House three spaces within the existing Manchester house have been refurbished to create five new six person family bedrooms along with an external reflection area. These brilliant new facilities were achieved because of the unrelenting fund raising efforts driven by Steve Burne and AEW Architects: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/steveburneroom
Ronald McDonald House Manchester
The additional bedrooms will provide over 1,000 additional nights home from home accommodation for families with children in Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. Hannan Associates are very proud to have been part of the team who donated their services for the design and construction of these refurbishment works.
We are also Building Services Design consultants for the charity’s new 62 bedroom Ronald McDonald House in Oxford where Construction is due to start soon with a view to opening in summer 2020.

The facility will provide free accommodation for families whose children are undergoing treatment at Oxford Children’s Hospital, as well as Children’s Critical Care and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on the John Radcliffe Hospital site.
Construction for Conwy County Borough Council’s new 100,000 sq ft offices in Colwyn Bay is now complete!
Hannan Associate’s team was led by Andrew Carrington, Colin Burns, Shaun Wilkinson, Rebecca Dagnall and Matthew Dalley. Our duties included Utilities & Building Services Design Consultancy; Sustainability Services; Building Physics and BREEAM Assessment for this new build office accommodation developed by Conwy Council and Muse Developments.
Conwy County Borough Council’s New Offices Central Atrium
The BREEAM ‘Excellent,’ ‘A’ rated Energy Performance Certificate building has been designed to include passive design measures that will reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption including 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 four storey, 100,000 sq ft office building, said to be the largest development of it’s type in North Wales, will now be home to approximately 780 Conwy County Borough Council’s workers. It has enabled the council to operate more efficiently and improve services for customers by consolidating staff and services into fewer sites.
MEP services are critical to effective building design because it makes buildings more efficient, functional and comfortable. Without it, or with very poor MEP infrastructure, buildings would be practically uninhabitable and very inefficient.
The start of the new Premier League season saw our client Manchester United Football Club reveal their new state of the art first team changing rooms at Old Trafford Stadium, via video on their Twitter page.
Hannan Associates were very pleased to provide MEP Consultancy for this challenging project, which involved alteration and refurbishment of the dressing room and associated areas and was completed in just six weeks during the short closed season at Old Trafford.
The scheme included the alteration and replacement of the building services including new LED scene setting lighting and digital showers. We were very pleased to work alongside BDP Architecture, Curtins Consulting, O’Neil & Partners, Gariff Construction and A&B Engineering on this project, one of many we have worked on for MUFC over the last 25 years.
Thanks to our involvement in a wide range of sporting venues over the last 30 years, we possess the expertise and experience to accept and meet the challenges that designing and refurbishing stadia facilities poses, which we have demonstrated on many projects. The experience we maintain in house, brings added value to future projects and clients.
