The Project

The project, spanning 62,022 square meters, provides high-quality office space designed to accommodate around 4,000 full-time employees. This prestigious development is located on a 1.14-hectare site along Queensbridge Road.

Unity Square, the new headquarters for HMRC in Nottingham, is an iconic building designed with sustainability, energy efficiency, and modern work environments in mind. Its prime location near Nottingham’s train station makes it an ideal hub for employees commuting from across the region, offering excellent connectivity and minimizing the building’s overall carbon footprint.

The building was designed to provide a sustainable workspace that promotes employee well-being, collaboration, and productivity while integrating environmentally responsible technologies and practices.

Encon Associates were instrumental in my SEN School Project achieving a BREEAM Excellent rating. In particular, Glenn Miles’ interest in assisting each member of the project team to achieve their individual credits, matched with his expertise in the field, have meant that this particular project had the highest credit score for any school project for us in the UK.
