Welcome to Welcome Building®

Welcome Building®, opened its doors last week. It is a 207,000 sq ft new workspace for Bristol, delivered in a joint venture between Tristan Capital Partners, and Trammell Crow Company (TCC), a leading commercial real estate developer. Offering the largest, flexible new floorplates in the city, it now takes its place as one of the most sustainable and wellbeing focused workspaces in Bristol.

We provided sustainability consultancy to Welcome Building® and this has seen it become one of only three buildings in Bristol to achieve a NABERS Design for Performance Target Rating of 5 stars. We will continue to monitor and support the building management team to ensure this is realised in operation. Our MEP and vertical transportation teams contributed to its ultra efficient design, with demand control ventilation, smart system controls, enhanced metering and an impressive PV array. It is also connected to the Bristol Heat Network, procuring low carbon heat which is connected to the carbon water source heat pump at Castle Park energy centre.

 

Our acoustics, specialist lighting and air quality teams also helped set new standards for occupier wellbeing as the first Bristol office development to target Well Platinum Certification, alongside BREEAM Outstanding and Five at Heart Platinum, with consideration given to everything from biodiversity to the enhanced end of trip facilities for cyclists, runners, and in-house wellness studio users.

We provided ICT services and digital advisory to help deliver this smart connected building with WiredScore Platinum and SmartScore Gold certifications.
