Resumen
The new Living Planet Centre for WWF-UK in Woking is a stimulating, multipurpose facility which combines the charity’s offi ces with a public education and exhibition space housed within an exemplar sustainable building.
At the outset, the building’s design was developed to control its environmental and social impact. As a result of this clear vision, and the way the building was designed and constructed, the project has achieved the highest standards of sustainable construction.
The Living Planet Centre demonstrates that a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ sustainable building can be delivered to budget when clients, design teams and contractors work closely together towards a common goal. This collaboration has created an inspiring working environment for a charity which aims to raise awareness of the issues that aff ect our natural world.
