Client: Experian

This striking project was phase 1 of a three-phase office development designed to centralise Experian's Nottingham operations and provide expansion space. BWB worked as part of the design team to develop the building design from inception, working closely with the Experian estate team and the client steering group to ensure the client brief and aspirations were met.

The result is a landmark building in Nottingham providing excellent quality office accommodation for 750 Experian staff and innovative breakout space with catering and conference facilities and a travel shop. Landmark House embraces environmental principles.

Our Role

BWB delivered a comprehensive range of civil and structural engineering services for NG2 Business Park, playing an integral role in transforming this former industrial site into a vibrant business community. Our environmental team carried out extensive ground contamination assessments, identifying residual pollutants left behind from its previous use.

Ground expertise

The findings informed our remediation strategy, which ensured the site was suitable for development and mitigated potential health risks. We also provided geotechnical support, developing the foundations and structural designs for multiple buildings, including the main Experian office, which serves as the landmark building within the business park.

Infrastructure and site engineering

Our transport planning team conducted detailed transport assessments and developed a travel plan to support the project’s planning applications. The travel plan considered the development’s impact on local highways and proposed strategies to reduce car dependency, including cycle facilities and public transport connections.

Accessible Future

Additionally, our team successfully negotiated significant Section 106 obligations, providing the framework for infrastructure contributions that benefitted the wider community. A key feature of our design was the access junction, which we engineered to accommodate the retrofitting of the tram extension that now runs through the site, enhancing connectivity and supporting future growth.
