CG Interiors have just completed the eco build contract of new sustainably built Changing rooms and classroom facility, the first of their kind in this country, within Whittington Park, Islington for the local authority.
We were appointed by The Mayor and Burgess of The London Borough of Islington as main contractor to build this state of the art sustainable changing room building. The building incorporates an office for the park keeper, a teaching/training room, two 16 person changing rooms, two smaller changing rooms, public WC, Parks maintenance storage and a plant room.
The main focus of the project is sustainability as the building incorporates a number of innovative environmental features such as a green roof, solid timber construction, solar thermal panel water heating, a biomass boiler, heat exchange mechanical ventilation system, rainwater harvesting, energy efficient lighting, under floor heating and high grade insulation. CG Interiors were responsible for all aspects of the construction, including the design and installation of all electrical, mechanical and plumbing works. Whilst we encountered several hurdles with weather the project was delivered prior to the other park improvements programme. This project was accident and incident free and our awareness training extended to talks in local schools.
