BCO East Anglia Talk & Tour: Generator

Please join Nico Riley of Brydell Partners, Richard Warwick of Owers Warwick Architects and James Mackenzie-Burrows for the last BCO East Anglia talk and tour of 2024!

The building, formerly known as Shakespeare House, and now rebranded as the Generator is located on Newmarket Road. The client’s vision for the building was to breathe life into this tired, yet prominent building and to create a sustainable and accessible workplace to support Cambridge industry.

The refurbishment redesigned the reception to activate the building. The reception flows onto a courtyard garden and relaxation area. Further amenity is given with new shower and changing facilities with secure cycle parking. The scheme provides Fully Fitted and Enhanced CatA office accommodation to meet the needs of the modern-day Cambridge occupier.

The building appearance has been significantly improved with the removal the lean-to on Newmarket Road together with larger windows on the ground floor helping to create an active street frontage, a refurbished roof, replacement or refurbished windows, and enclosing the under-croft with windows and architectural grillage.

The design aspires to the highest sustainability credentials and includes highly efficient plant, new or refurbished double glazed windows throughout, and newly insulated roof to meet current building regulations.

The morning will start at 8.30am on 11th December. A short presentation will be followed by a building tour. Coffee and breakfast will be provided.
