Forming the centrepiece of Leeds Millennium Square, the Grade II listed Leeds Institute building needed extensive refurbishment to remodel the existing layout, upgrade services facilities and restore the iconic Victorian building back to its former glory.

Lying at the entrance to the Thames Gateway, the Barking Town Square development is central to the area’s much needed regeneration. This mixed use development is being undertaken in two phases. The first focuses on refurbishing and extending Barking Central Library to create the Barking Lifelong Learning Centre (LLC), which will offer a variety of educational courses from providers such as the University of East London, Barking College and Barking Adult College. The second phase comprises the construction of 200 apartments on six floors that are located directly on top of the LLC and clustered around a central, landscaped courtyard.

Buro Happold has been appointed by the Battersea Power Station Development Company to provide multidisciplinary engineering design and consultancy to Phase 1 of the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station.

Set within a landscaped green, adjacent to Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park, Hazelwood School caters for up to 60 students with multiple disabilities. Each student attending the school has a combination of two or more impairments: visual, hearing, mobility or cognitive. The students are aged between three and eighteen, and hence the facility provides education from nursery through to secondary stages. The new school replaced Kelvin School, which specialised in dual sensory impairment, and Carnbooth School which specialised in multiple disabilities and visual impairment, merging them into a single state-of-the -art facility.
