EastWorks in Dalmarnock provides over 30,000 sqft of modern office space. The former Purifier Shed is one of just five historic buildings to remain in the area and the regeneration plan seeks to safeguard the Victorian listed façade and revitalise the location.
The building was originally known as the Dalmarnock Purifier Shed developed in the late 1800s. It was opened for various uses and finally closed in the 1950’s.
A new steel structure was installed to support mezzanine levels and open flexible floor space with expanses of curtain wall glazing. The listed façade at the rear boasts original features such as decorative sandstone arches around the windows. The final product delivered the refurbishment of interesting and innovative spaces, which comprises 5 standalone units / studios / offices.
Atelier Ten led the mechanical and electrical services design providing efficient dimmable LED lighting installed throughout in accordance with BCO and CIBSE guidelines, heating and cooling via 4-pipe trench heaters located around the perimeter of the building and 4-pipe fan coil units located beneath the mezzanine floor. Ventilation provides 12 l/s of fresh air plus 10% based on an occupancy of 1 per 8 sqm, in accordance with the BCO guidelines.
