| Showcasing sustainable solutions - after much work over a period of three years a building was conceived that would demonstrate sustainable issues and showcase our sustainable products. This building finally achieved planning permission in 2005, construction was completed in December 2007. |
| Green and Brown Roofs |
|
To replace habitat lost during construction new wildlife friendly space is created on the roofs of the building. The main south roof is a green roof planted with sedum and two other roofs are made into brown roofs with impoverish soil, stones and logs from the site to make a storm water absorbing wildlife habit that is interesting to observe at all times of the year. One of the brown roofs makes a feature from a large viewing window. The mass of earth on the roof also helps to combat the risk of summer overheating.
