The 210,000 sq ft development for its client Trebor Developments represents a multimillion-pound investment by international high-tech manufacturing and research and development company KLA Corporation.
The new building, for up to 750 staff, has been designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating, reflecting KLA’s commitment to its environmental goals. It will include offices, cleanrooms, storage and support facilities.
Three floors of working environments will be inside the building façade, providing staff with modern workspaces, flexible breakout areas and a staff restaurant.
The new building includes a gymnasium and a footpath to support employee fitness and health. There is also secure cycle storage and shower facilities.
Andrew Scott, during the project, partnered with Avena to launch a PPE waste recycling initiative on site. Due to this, 174kg of textiles were diverted from landfill, saving 82.72kgCO2e.
The site also received 45/45 on its recent Considerate Constructors Scheme visit. This demonstrated the positive contribution to the local environment and social and economic well-being of the local community.
Mark Bowen, Managing Director of Andrew Scott, said "We are delighted to handover this prestigious project on time, to our client Trebor Developments and KLA Corporation. The completion of this new Manufacturing and R&D Centre is a testament to the hard work, collaboration and vision of everyone involved in the project. We are extremely proud of what has been achieved and being a part of this remarkable facility."
