Bourne Business Park

The redevelopment of the building has transformed it into a premier office destination. By prioritising energy efficiency, occupant wellbeing, and environmental responsibility, the project not only meets the needs of modern businesses but also contributes positively to the community and the environment. Bourne Business Park Building 100, with its blend of cutting-edge amenities, green features, and convenient location, stands as a testament to the possibilities of sustainable development in the commercial real estate sector.

The grand double-height reception creates a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and tenants, adding a sense of prestige and professionalism to the building. Modern lighting fixtures and ceiling designs enhance aesthetics while improving energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Additionally, a communal roof terrace provides outdoor space for relaxation and socialisation, offering tenants panoramic views and fresh air.

The refurbishment process prioritised the reduction of embodied carbon associated with materials and construction methods, thereby enhancing overall environmental sustainability. Solar panels installed on the roof harness renewable energy, reducing reliance on traditional power sources and enhancing the building's sustainability profile.

We have implemented bike storage facilities, showers, and changing areas to encourage sustainable commuting options, such as cycle-to-work schemes, contributing to the wellbeing of employees. With 90 parking spaces, including 9 EV car charging points, the building prioritises sustainable transportation options to support green commuting. Operating as an all-electric building, it eliminates reliance on fossil fuels, further reducing its carbon footprint and environmental impact.

The building integrates highly efficient dynamic air conditioning with mixed-mode fresh air circulation, ensuring occupants enjoy optimal air quality and comfort while minimising energy consumption. Bourne Business Park has achieved top ratings in both EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certifications for Building 100, underlining its commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability. Through a combination of energy-efficient design and renewable energy sources, the building aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions during operation.

Our commitment to excellence extends to our supply chain, ensuring compliance, enhancing supplier engagement, and fostering sustainable manufacturing practices.
