| BAE Systems Phase 2 |
|
Occupying a corner location,
opposite BAE Phase I, this facility for BAE Systems Ltd has been designed around a
central, top-lit atrium within a triangular plan form to maximize the potential
of the site.
The contemporary interiors create a light and spacious working environment for the staff and provide approximately 14,500 sq m of office and laboratory space over three floors with parking included at a lower ground level. From the ground floor entrance, the main stair rises up to the atrium base, located at first floor level. This is intended to be the heart of the building, providing a bright, airy public forum. A Category B Listed brick stair tower survives from the 1950's building, which formerly occupied the site. It has been retained and integrated into the new glazed frontage to Crewe Toll. The building is air conditioned throughout with specialist air conditioning to Laboratory areas. |
