Woods Bagot designed the facilities to be functional, efficient, and safe with a high degree of adaptability. Floor space is maximized within budget and codes. The design includes modular, extendable buildings with centralized service spines for flexible laboratory planning and services access. Natural light is maximized through controlled sunshading and views while finishes are durable and low maintenance.
ICE Case Study 2016
VINCI Facilities was contracted to refurbish a Grade II listed building in London that houses the Institution of Civil Engineers. Over a 3 month period in 2016, VINCI completed external stonework restoration, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and modernized facilities. Careful planning and flexibility were needed to complete the work on time while minimizing disruptions, as parts of the building remained occupied. Through collaborative working and strong safety practices, VINCI successfully delivered the project on schedule and achieved high customer satisfaction.

"Sourcing Products / Technologies for Eco-Retrofit" - Gary Wilburn, HPW Archi...Sustainable Business Partnership
This document discusses the opportunity and challenges for retrofitting existing homes in the UK to achieve an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050. It would require retrofitting over 600,000 homes per year, which would create the largest engineering project ever in the UK. The main challenges include the complexity of each unique retrofit project, dealing with varying construction standards, educating suppliers and contractors, and ensuring behavior change among occupants. While sourcing new products and technologies is one challenge, it is considered one of the least problems. Examples of retrofit projects achieving Passivhaus targets and utilizing ground source heat pumps, high insulation, and mechanical ventilation heat recovery systems are provided.Kings cross PR page 2

This $43 million refurbishment was led by premier construction company Hansen Yuncken who were recently named 2010 Master Builder of the Year at the MBAV Excellence in Construction Awards. The project encompassed the complete renovation of the existing 16 level building, a scope of works that delivers a new entry with reception, security scanning point and control room, as well as meeting and mediation rooms for dispute resolution. Other floors will house the Judicial College of Victoria, the Sentencing Advisory Council, the Department of Justice and other agencies. The refurbishment includes completely new plant rooms, equipment and infrastructure services as well as the full restoration of the previously existing fixed furniture. Situated on the corner of Lonsdale and William Streets, the Old Country Court lies in the heart of Melbourne’s legal district, a factor that influenced heavily on its design. “The court’s new facade, when viewed from the new canticle across the road, will feature a multi-story silhouette of the Lady of Justice holding the balance and the sword,” said Project Manager Paul Saly. “This effect is achieved through a unique DigiGlass façade pattern that allows dramatic designs to be incorporated onto laminated safety glass.” Chosen by the Department of Justice for their pedigree of performance, Hansen Yuncken is known for their commitment to sustainable architecture. In 2006 they constructed Council House 2, the first purpose-built office building in Australia to achieve a maximum Six Green Star rating. In emulation of their past success, Hansen Yuncken is once again striving to lead the world in green technology. “The refurbishment of the Old Country Court has been specifically designed to earn a Five Green Star rating,” explained Paul. “This is coming about though a variety of environmentally friendly measures including the thermal characteristics of the new façade as well as smart mechanical infrastructure to name just a few.
