Description
Description | The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has appointed McLaren Construction for a £100m Passivhaus refurbishment of one of its existing buildings, 35 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, which will become the Firoz Lalji Global Hub. The project involves retaining around 60% of the original 1950s building, demolishing the top three floors and roof plant enclosure, and adding a lightweight cross-laminated timber extension. The building's surface area will increase from 9,856 sq m to 11,848 sq m, with new features including an atrium, green and blue roofs with PV panels. The project aims for Passivhaus certification, BREEAM Outstanding rating, and WELL Platinum, with a focus on reducing embodied carbon footprint. Completion is expected in 2027. |
