We're members of the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC)

Supporting a forward-thinking, environmentally conscious design approach, which will shape, inspire and support the community in the coming years, our design is based on Passivhaus standards.

Designed with a philosophy that people will feel healthier when they walk out of the building than when they walk in, The Spine is one of the few certified WELL Platinum buildings in the UK.

We have designed the building to maximise efficiency, with the café naturally ventilated, automated windows operated via CO₂ and rain activated sensors to manage the building’s temperature through the building management system.

Liverpool's first net-zero carbon building, surrounding by new areas of biophilia inspired green, public realm. 

Our long-term partnership with Calderdale Council has been supported by our multi-discipline expertise, and we provide services and solutions which cover the full life-cycle of their estate. From new-build projects, refurbishments, redevelopments, to asset management, portfolio rationalisation and survey programmes.

Forming part of the new national health and research innovation campus, the development is designed with people's wellbeing at the heart. 

With sustainability weaving throughout the design, we ensured the building has minimal impact on the local and global environment through the use of thermal solar collector technology, natural ventilation strategies, photovoltaic panels and a living wall.

The new expansion incorporates rooftop PV solar panels for sustainable energy generation and utilises energy-efficient LED lighting. As well as making a positive contribution to the decarbonisation of the college's estate, via air source heat pumps supported by photovoltaics. 

We successfully delivered lower maintenance costs through overall improvement of energy systems including the use of full height glazing, maximising natural daylight.
