Appendix
During 2021 we undertook the refurbishment of 20,000 sq ft of offices at Longcross, Cardiff. Alongside this, we created a new occupier hub and improved occupier facilities throughout the building. As part of the office refurbishment we were able to: — Install a new more efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning system with better levels of control to replace the old inefficient wet heating system — Install low energy lighting throughout — Use recycled materials, for example carpet tiles — Remove asbestos — Improve fire precaution and monitoring arrangements — Use local contractors to carry out the work — Improve the EPC from a C to a B rating on the refurbished floors Our new 2,000 sq ft occupier hub provides a range of facilities for the benefit of our occupiers. These include bookable meeting rooms with flexible configurations allowing occupiers to host internal and external meetings, a kitchen, breakout space and network connectivity. We have also installed new showers and changing rooms in the common areas encouraging alternative methods of travel and extra seating and landscaping in the external courtyard at the front of the building for occupiers to use. In 2022 we will be looking into the feasibility of completing the gas removal programme which we commenced as part of the refurbishment work, along with the installation of EV charging points and solar panels on the roof.
