The roof terrace proposals provide a rich and diverse landscape at the heart of the City of London, offering an immersive landscape for its users whilst encouraging biodiversity. Arup delivered the hard and soft landscape scheme design for two roof terraces on this development. Working in close collaboration with the the rest of the multi-disciplinary team to ensure that the landscape design met all technical considerations, promoted a vibrant working environment and was visually connected with site context and views. The design of the planting was selected to withstand the harsh conditions on the terraces and enabled the creation of sheltered spaces and framed views to key London landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral. The roof terrrace design was also integrated into the water resource management design to strengthen the resilience of the building.
The Francis Crick Institute The Francis Crick Institute is an independent organisation, established as a UK flagship for discovery research in biomedicine. Housing over 1,900 researchers and support staff the building opened in 2016. Arup engaged in initial stakeholder engagement before our team developed the concept strategy for the logistics operations. Amongst the strategies was a recommendation for supply chain consolidation to reduce the number of vehicles coming to site. The original estimate was 120 per day which was reduced by 75% to 30 per day when a consolidation centre solution was implemented. This vehicle reduction positively benefitted the site operations and neighbourhood. The Arup logistics team contains both the senior consultant who wrote the strategies and the former Logistics Manager of the Crick who brought those strategies to life into BAU operations. This complete life cycle enables us to give unique insight from design into operations.

Understanding the whole life carbon impact of design solutions is very important. The experience gained on this project and similar projects means we can propose well considered interventions at an early stage.
After over three decades of service, the 34-storey Guy’s Tower required essential and extensive refurbishment to the facade. Arup was appointed to deliver a high quality, energy efficient solution that will secure the future of the Tower for the next 30 years. As part of this appointment the Materials Consultancy team carried out a LCA of the proposed refurbishment. This looked at a variety of impacts including global warming potential or embodied carbon, toxicity, embodied water and non-renewable resource use. The study looked at both the impacts embodied in the materials used for the refurbishment and those incurred during the design life of the façade including the cleaning, maintenance and operational requirements of the building. This cumulated in calculating the ‘carbon payback’ of the refurbishment.

Arup’s approach centres on our belief that lighting, both electric and daylight, is important to the wellbeing of the occupants; helping to improve healing times for patients and deliver a comfortable working environment staff. Lighting is more than just horizonal surfaces; by taking an approach that carefully curates the visual experience, managing visual contrast, considering the movement and activities within a healthcare facilities it is possible to deliver lit environments that are not only functional, but also visually engaging. The key to achieving Zero Carbon is through maximize the benefits of natural light, from both an energy and wellbeing context. Arup are leaders in the development of analysis tools in optimising the fenestration design, allowing the design team to make informed decisions during the design process based from a balanced assessment of competing requirements. Good lighting should not be more expensive. Arup’s lighting specialists understand the challenges, by utilising digital tools we are able to quickly engage a wide proportion of the luminaire market. The result is an optimally cost and energy efficient solution, which delivers the best lighting outcome. e: lighting@arup.com | www.arup.com

Arup designed the first all LED lighting system that is integrated with daylighting in a dynamic and responsive circadian lighting approach.
The lighting design for the Kaiser San Diego Central Hospital project began in summer of 2012. The goal of the project was to maximize the patient comfort and well-being, minimize energy use, and control cost through reducing total cost of ownership. Arup’s strategy for achieving this was to use LED technology for all lighting throughout the hospital. The use of LED technology allowed Arup to rethink the approach to the patient room experience, and leverage the technology to provide an adaptive quality of light that would reinforce the human body’s natural circadian rhythm through the use of varying color temperature. The end result is a light source that is preprogrammed to emit a color temperature of light based on time of day. The project, which was completed in 2016, will open its doors to patients in spring of 2017.

Opened April 2012 Key services provided Lighting design Daylighting design Selected awards BREEAM Excellent Rating
Maximising the penetration of daylight into the building was important to create a bright, airy and therapeutic environment for the visiting patients.
Welcoming its first patients in April 2012 the University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre represents a clear departure from traditional hospital design. Arup provided architectural lighting design to all areas of the building including external lighting to the roof terrace and natural daylighting analysis for the buildings central atrium. The intention was always that the atrium be a predominantly naturally lit space and Arup assisted the architect with the atrium rooflight design to achieve this aim. The supplementary electric lighting in the space is activated via a photocell when light levels fall below a predetermined level. This lighting emanates through the roof terrace at night creating a ‘glowing’ floor plane.

Logistics consulting
Bristol Southmead Hospital is a new 800 bed hospital of approximately 110,000m2 that consolidated two previous sites. Arup supported the hospital plan the transition from the existing sites to the new building by assessing logistics flows and developing a logistics strategy to minimise any risks in the move. Arup was also asked to facilitate the development of an appropriate logistics strategy encompassing a transportation solution, effective utilization of space for supported areas, operational effectiveness of the overall solution, and the minimization of project risks. We were asked to consider the following objectives: accessibly, safety, patient service, communication and optimization and timely deliveries to local stakeholders. Among the key outcomes, we delivered a feasibility study and evaluation of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), recommending their use in a dedicated Facilities Management (FM) corridor, with FM zonal hubs served by dedicated FM lifts. The main reasons were labour savings, increased life of the building fabric and overall cost benefits. Understanding and translating NHS logistics on behalf of the design team, we also effected a material management area, to enhance operational efficiencies for the suite of offices, loading bay, goods receipt and ward dispatch areas. This included the sizing of the sterile services areas, complete segregation of goods and dedicated quarantine areas.

A project that significantly improved cardiac patient care and working conditions for hospital staff, achieved by renewing rather than demolishing a 13-storey building The £27m renewal of the 13-storey East Wing building at St Thomas’ Hospital in central London is one of the most complex healthcare building renewal projects undertaken by Arup in the UK to date. A design solution developed jointly by Hopkins Architects, Arup and ISG allowed the hospital to pursue the less disruptive and less costly option of refurbishing this 1960s building, rather than emptying, demolishing and rebuilding it. A new second skin facade avoided the need to replace existing windows and allowed the creation of two attractive, airy atria to accommodate urgently-needed patient transfer lifts. New space at the top of the building offers panoramic views over the Thames and the Houses of Parliament. Arup’s team resolved a series of challenges, including detailed site investigations to enable complex diversion of live services. Our structural and facade engineers prioritised the design of efficient connections between new-build elements and the existing structure. Arup’s fire and acoustics engineers also played a central role, ensuring the new artia provide an attractive and open environment whilst meeting all regulations and standards. www.arup.com
