Overview
Designed by Darling Associates Architects, TCC's Welcome Building provides a new type of workplace for Bristol. This 207,000 square feet landmark set within the commercial area of Temple Quay, resets the bar for sustainability by targeting optimal energy efficiency and a creates a healthy environment for all who work there.
The building’s ground floor provides a unique setting to host events, with an open kitchen as well as interactive art, fostering a collaborative business community. Welcome Building offers the largest available floorplates in the city that range from 22,000 square feet to 30,000 square feet and are open and reconfigurable to suit the changing patterns of working life– be that group collaboration or places for individual focus.
Welcome Building provides an all-electric workspace, including PV cells on the roof and targeting Net Zero Carbon in operation. It will set new standards for occupier wellbeing as it is the first Bristol office development to target Well Platinum Certification, alongside BREEAM Outstanding and Five at Heart Platinum, with consideration given to everything from biodiversity to the enhanced end of trip facilities for cyclists, runners, and in-house gym users.
The building is also connected to the Bristol Heat Network, from which it will extract all of its heat load. This naturally sourced and low carbon heat is procured from the zero-carbon water source heat pump at Castle Park energy centre at a lower capital and operational cost, which also provides greater security for tenants against fluctuating energy tariffs, and no polluting combustion on site.
