All areas of office space are serviced for power, data and communications via a new raised access floor with lighting and comfort cooling / air conditioning being provided above new suspended ceilings. All office walls were constructed using the Logika 3000 partitioning system which has been vinyl covered using Muraspec to a high standard along with all other walls.
A new reception area, male, female and disabled toilets and a fully staffed restaurant facility have also been provided on the ground floor.
Included externally are all associated drains, new services and external works forming roads, parking for over 200 cars, delivery area / canopy and an external raised seating area for staff breaks.
