We achieved an Excellent 45/45 CCS Score. Activity we have conducted on site has included supporting the local community through the dog walking bowl, providing a space for rough sleepers to use overnight and working with merchants to reduce the level of plastic packaging entering our site. All of which has contributed to such a brilliant score.

There is a retail area at basement level. New office entrance and rear cycle entrance to Thavies Inn. New glazing to the alleyway elevation. The existing life safely sprinkler system will be replaced and serve all floors and the elevation drench system will be removed. All existing casement windows were replaced with a new single pane. All curtain walling was retained, repainted, re-glazed and be provided with new external caps. The new storey at roof level provides additional premium office space and is accessible via four new lifts and the existing fire escape stair and lift core at the rear of the building. New plant serving the building is located above the new roof level. The existing lightwell adjacent to No.6 St Andrew Street was infilled with new slabs at all levels from ground to ninth floor. The existing lift circulation core previously included two lift shafts, which were removed and the corresponding voids infilled. As part of the alterations, four new lifts were installed through the existing building structure to serve all levels from ground floor to ninth floor. There is an additional existing fire-fighting lift to the rear of the building which was replaced by a larger lift.  Alterations at first floor level include the repositioning of existing structural elements on the St Andrew Street elevation to enable re-modelling of the front elevation. The removal of these elements greatly improved the general appearance of the building and increased the natural light level inside the building at first floor

The Clarence Centre – LSBU

THE CLARENCE CENTRE – LONDON SOUTH BANK UNIVERSITY Listed Basement Extensive Temporary Works Live University Campus Info box:Client: London South Bank UniversityArchitect: Rivington Street Studio Quantity Surveyor: Sweett GroupValue: £8.3m Winner of RICS 2015 Award for Regeneration LSBU appointed Neilcott following a single stage competitive tender to construct the Clarence Centre, a University-based innovation and incubator centre for entrepreneurs offering flexible high-quality office spaces, start-up units for small businesses and support facilities, public cafe and gallery. This ambitious project re-used seventeen derelict Grade II-listed Georgian terraced buildings and a former Victorian public house within their Southwark campus, adding new-build circulation/ ancillary spaces to the rear to create a modern facility – transforming neglected heritage buildings. At project commencement the external condition of the buildings had remained intact since the University undertook stabilisation works in 2006 to preserve their historic fabric, however the internal condition of the buildings was generally very poor. Neilcott provided valuable insight into all preconstruction areas, including developing a steelwork solution allowing insertion prior to demolition, saving any requirement for façade retention, enabling programme to be achieved. The project required substantial internal reconfiguration of spaces requiring complex structural alterations. Working methods and temporary works were designed by Neilcott’s in house structural/temporary works engineer and carried out by Neilcott’s in-house directly-employed structures team. This approach unlocked delivery, providing complete control, maximum flexibility to overcome problems and reduce cost. The project was heavily serviced requiring careful coordination of new services routes and sympathetic creation of new openings within the existing structure. The listed elevations were carefully restored including reconstruction of some elements, adopting traditional construction techniques and materials. Although traditionally-procured, Neilcott committed a Design Manager to work with the client’s design team, led by architect Rivington Street Studios (Structural Engineer – Conisbee, M&E Max Fordham), to ensure that extensive CDP elements were fully-coordinated with the primary design and specialist detailing was available when required – enabling efficient conclusion of primary design to programme. “The completed project has exceeded the University’s expectations. It was delivered on time, within budget, is very well liked by the tenants and the University’s Enterprise team.”                                                                                                                                          Roger Tuke – London South Bank University
