Scheer Partners Scientific Real Estate’s Post

I am looking forward to joining the Bisnow Science event tomorrow in 1 Triton Square where we'll explore the growth of the life science research sector within the City. Reflecting on our collaborative efforts at Arup over the past 8 years on this project, I believe we can draw invaluable lessons to address the pressing environmental crisis caused by carbon-intensive buildings losing their relevance within a mere generation or two. As we endeavour to mitigate the impact of the built environment on climate change, the imperative to maximize the reuse of our existing building stock becomes increasingly urgent. The ongoing debate surrounding demolition versus repurposing underscores the crisis we face with buildings designed narrowly for office use. Frank Duffy adopted the term ‘long life, loose fit’, recognising the inherent longevity and flexibility achieved in office design through a ‘loose fit’ approach. 1 Triton Square is a great example of how we can embed longevity in the base design of a building through a long life, loose fit approach, creating an authentic sustainable development. Arup’s 1990’s building for British Land was designed to accommodate financial traders in a high density heavily serviced environment. The spatial generosity of the building has ultimately proved to be one of its greatest assets. Our 2018-2021 refurbishment of the building allowed us to add three storeys and nearly double the floor space, with minimal changes to the space taken by structural and servicing infrastructure. British Land’s bold decision to transform the building into a life-science centre builds on this to exploit the resilience of the structure, and generosity of floor to floor height. Going forward, we need to abandon the stereotype of the office building, and think of how we accommodate work in its broadest sense. Research scientists have realised that the monoculture of the out-of-town science park offers little stimulation, and they prefer the vitality and interaction of the City. We need to design buildings that can accommodate them, but also accommodate the next cycle of change in our working practice. To avoid repeating the mistakes of post-war development we need to abandon singular design typologies and create simple, lean, loose fit buildings for people to work in our Cities. These buildings should form the grey zone of our cities, the backbone that provides stability, flexing and adapting to suit future modes of work, and that can have a 200-year life.....

Thanks to Catherine G. Potts, Ph.D. for her invaluable support and guidance.

I found the discussion at the Open Science event about the science and innovation behind our smoke-free products informative. My colleague, Dr. Carrie Wade, explained one of the reasons independent studies might reach a different conclusion to ours.
