Leading facilities management and building services provider, Inviron, has been working alongside its client, Land Securities, on the company's new flagship building, One New Change, which has recently opened in the City of London.
One New Change is the latest addition to a long and successful working partnership between Inviron and Land Securities. Inviron's FM&S Director, Neil Johnson, says of the project: "Providing the technical services for such a large, multi-use building is complex, so we started the mobilisation process very early on to ensure that the entire team gathered in-depth knowledge of One New Change and its systems, to facilitate high levels of service as the building opens."
The iconic building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, is set in an exceptional location with stunning views of St Paul's Cathedral. The eight floors will be home to 3,000 office workers and 60 prestigious retail outlets, as well as cafés and restaurants including Barbecoa, Jamie Oliver and Adam Perry-Lang's latest venture, and Gordon Ramsay's as yet unnamed restaurant.
Neil continues: "We've been working extremely closely with Land Securities as the building has evolved over the last few months. This is a cutting edge facility in a prime location and our team is working extremely hard and efficiently to ensure that exceptional standards are implemented and maintained. It's a fantastic flagship building to add to our already impressive portfolio."
When measured for its environmental impact, One New Change received an ‘excellent' rating under BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), as a result of installing a 150 metre deep ground source energy system - the largest commercial application of the technology in Europe.
As central London's newest destination, retailers including Topshop, H&M, Reiss, Links of London and Swarovski will be housed on the first three floors, with offices on the remaining levels. However, the building's crowning glory is its roof terrace - allowing public access via a panoramic lift set within the central atrium, it opens up to new and exciting views of neighbouring St Paul's Cathedral and across the capital, and is sure to become a ‘must see' on the London tourist trail.
