| The doors were opened to one of the country’s top ‘green’ offices at a special event to show how a typical 1960s London block has been turned into a sustainable workplace of the future. Over two days, 160 facilities and property professionals - as well as business leaders - toured Morgan Lovell’s headquarters in a series of seminars to see how they can build sustainability into their interior office design projects. Morgan Lovell’s pioneering transformation of its Soho site has seen the company ranked in the 2008 Sunday Times Green List - a record of the 50 top sustainable organisations in the UK. Work at the Noel Street site has also achieved the highest BREEAM environmental assessment score in the UK to date. The project is just one of just two of its kind in the country to achieve an “Excellent” rating from assessors. Paul Kelly, head of marketing at Morgan Lovell, said: “Both days were a sell- out. “People attending wanted to know how they can make their workplaces more sustainable and reap the associated social, economic and environmental benefits. “By using our own headquarters as a real-life case study, visitors could see first-hand what can be achieved.” Delegates at the seminar were able to investigate the effectiveness of the environmentally-friendly products used in the refurbishment and explore the costs and the payback times. They also explored how to build sustainability into office design, significantly reduce future energy bills through sustainability; meet Government targets and get a high BREEAM rating as well as making the project carbon neutral.
