JPA were appointed as part of the Turner & Townsend Project Management team providing services to the London Borough of Southwark through the OGC Framework for this £19M fit out project.
JPA’s duties included the provision of the RIBA Stage ‘D’ design, performance specification and project monitoring of the mechanical and electrical fit-out services for the new London Borough of Southwark Council office building at 160 Tooley Street, London.
The London Borough of Southwark chose the building as it provided large open plan floor plates which would accommodate up to 2,100 staff in a flexible and hot desking environment. The staff that would utilise the building was re-located from thirty other office buildings throughout London, thereby freeing up old, inefficient and poor performing buildings therefore enabling a more efficient Local Government service from the Council.
In addition to open plan workstations, the building incorporates meeting rooms, quiet rooms, training rooms, staff restaurant, cycle storage, staff changing and shower facilities and a main entrance and atrium area which are used for exhibitions and functions.
JPA produced the RIBA Stage ‘D’ design drawings, performance specifications, engineering specifications and the on-going monitoring of the contractors fit-out works to suit the requirements of the London Borough of Southwark. Council staff started occupying the building in phases between March 2009 and August 2009. The building is now fully occupied and operational.
Features within the building include bio-mass boilers, rainwater recovery, displacement ventilation, exposed thermal mass for night cooling, high efficiency lighting installation including low energy lighting, and digital lighting controls with daylight dimming and presence detection, along with the building management system to provide total management of environmental systems throughout the building.
The building has achieved a BREEAM Offices Very Good status and has been designed to minimise energy consumption along with reducing CO2 emissions, by up to 20 tonnes every year.
