1 Centenary Square wins at RICS Awards 2019, West Midlands

We are delighted that our project 1 Centenary Square has won the ‘Commercial’ category at the RICS Awards 2019, West Midlands.

1 Centenary Square, now home to HSBC is part of Arena Central, a £500 million mixed-use development scheme in Birmingham city centre being developed by Arena Central Developments LLP, a joint venture led by Kier. Hannan Associates are proud to be providing Building Services Engineering consultancy for the development scheme.

“The judges were amazed by the new HSBC building as a bespoke solution to the demands of new banking regulations and provides a fitting solution at the heart of the bank’s birthplace in Birmingham City Centre. The building – delivered by Arcadis, Make Architects and Galliford Try – nestles in-between neighbouring listed buildings without detracting from their presence due to its limited height and woven external cladding.

The internal fit out promotes an innovative and collaborative working environment with the maximum use of natural daylight. This building sets a very high benchmark for HSBC’s global portfolio to aspire to.” https://www.rics.org/uk/training-events/rics-awards/rics-awards-west-midlands/

The 210,000 sq ft, 10 storey, Grade A office building designed by Make Architects accommodates around 2,5000 employees, providing high quality flexible working and break out spaces.

“I am very proud to have led the Hannan team on this major corporate HQ project, which has helped bring HSBC back to its roots and in turn raise the profile of Birmingham. The success of 1 Centenary Square has helped secure further development at Arena Central, which we are very happy to be a part of. We very much enjoy being a part of this team and I believe that this award is a well-deserved reflection of the hard work and commitment that everyone put into making this project a success.” Jamie Hall – Hannan Associates

Hannan Associates are very pleased to also be building services consultants for the neighbouring No. 3 Arena Central, a 240,000sq ft 14 storey office building currently under construction, which has been pre-let to HM Revenue and Customs.

Newbury Racecourse Heartspace Redevelopment Complete

Newbury Racecourse Heartspace Redevelopment Complete

Hannan Associates have been part of the team redeveloping Newbury Racecourse since 2010. During this time we have contributed to the design and construction of several new facilities and witnessed first-hand the benefits that these new facilities have provided the racecourse and its visitors.

The redevelopment of the Heartspace is now complete and available for use by racegoers. The Heartspace scheme focused on the redevelopment of the heart of the racecourse, undertaken in phases to ensure racing has been able to continue unaffected.  Phases one and two were completed in Summer 2017 and included the construction of a new Owners Club to provide hospitality space and office accommodation, re-location of the Pre-Parade Ring and Saddling Stalls and a new East Entrance building.  The final phase of works included a new South Entrance building, 2nr. Totes, landscaping and re-modelling of the Parade Ring and Winners Enclosure.

We have acted for Newbury Racecourse as their retained MEP consultants providing Stage 3 Developed Design for each phase and monitoring the construction works on site.  Our appointment also involved utilities infrastructure planning to ensure sufficient utilities were available to suit each phase of the redevelopment which involved close liaison with the contractor to ensure all necessary facilities remained open for racedays.  The Owners Club achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating upon completion and incorporates LZC technologies such as photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps.

Works will continue at the Racecourse during 2019 – the existing Pall Mall building has been demolished with further construction works intended to improve hospitality offerings to racegoers.

We worked alongside KKA ArchitectureArcadis, and TRP Consulting on the project design team.

New Bailey NCP Car Park Complete

New Bailey NCP Car Park Complete

The latest project to reach completion at New Bailey, Salford is the Stanley Street NCP multi storey car park.

Hannan Associates provided MEP performance duties for this new 633 space multi-storey car park designed by AHR Architects and built by Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure. This is the second NCP car park at New Bailey.

The car park design includes LED Energy Efficient Lighting throughout and a lighting control system to ensure efficient use of lighting installation, for example providing daylight dimming and PIR operation. The payment facilities have been made more customer focused by removing the need for customers to visit a payment machine or kiosk.

There are six electric car charging points at ground level, ANPL cameras at entrance and general CCTV throughout all levels to ensure customer safety at all times.

Hannan Associates are very proud to be part of the team regenerating Salford Central, a £650 million scheme transforming the New Bailey and Chapel Street areas of Salford. The scheme 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 development area is situated at the interface between Manchester and Salford and is bordered by the main artery of the regenerated Chapel Street and the inner city ring road. When complete the development will provide 849 new homes, 2 million sq ft of offices, 90 hotel bedrooms, 261,000 sq ft retail & leisure and will expand the existing business district in this part of the city.
