Works included demolishing the existing offices on the Ground Floor of the Benham Building to create a flexible new collaborative meeting space, two new offices and associated services and audio visual upgrades.
A new opening was created for the large acoustic entry door, providing a transparent front for the new Hub.
Design features include new acoustic clouds and echopanel wall panels, working with the original structure to expose the high ceiling and steel-framed tall windows, while coordinating the installation of new energy efficient services. A new perforated steel plant enclosure was also installed adjacent the existing.
