The building incorporates the historic and locally listed Belmont Works, restored from its fire damaged state of dereliction, whose industrial heritage as part of a Victorian factory complex is a key driver for the design. A large extension to the rear of the building draws on its industrial heritage and creates a space where the products, services and companies of the future will be created through interdisciplinary collaboration.

This tour will take in the unique mix of commercial office and making spaces offered by BCU. Paul Davies, Deputy Director of Estates & Facilities (Development), will take BCO members through the journey of imagining, developing and delivering this landmark building.
