Banking on success
Morris & Spottiswood has completed a new 18,000sqm Group Head Office for Lloyds Banking Group in the heart of London.
The design brief from Lloyds was to fully refurbish the building to incorporate new and upgraded facilities across the floors following a full strip out. The goal was a new look and feel that reflects the Lloyds values and brand, with the upgraded facilities being accessible and inclusive.
Livingston Building Services, part of the Morris & Spottiswood Group, was appointed to design and install a comprehensive and substantial mechanical services package tailored to the client’s specifications. This included air source heat pumps for efficient heating and cooling via fan coil units (enhancing energy efficiency and reducing the building’s CO2 emissions), critical cooling solutions for the comms rooms, new AHUs and ventilation systems, a modernised sprinkler system, an upgraded domestic water service and a fully integrated building management system.
The project delivered many key achievements along the way, such as attaining 45/45 on the Considerate Constructors Score, along with receiving a Gold Award from the City of London CCS Award Scheme. Additionally, there was 99% of waste recycled and diverted from landfill, and 50% of labour was utilised from the local area.
