Recycling excellence at MEPC's Granta Park development

Mace has an on-going and successful relationship with MEPC, which is one of the UK's leading developers of sustainable business communities with an outstanding track record in responsible commercial property development, investment, and management.

Granta Park Riverside is a multi-building development which Mace is construction managing for MEPC. MEPC and Mace are proud to announce at that a recent report on the recycling of waste during the construction of the Riverside development at Granta Park shows that over the last six months between 74% and 91% of all waste generated has been recycled, which is approximately double the industry expectation.

Roz Bird, Marketing Manager of MEPC commented, "MEPC takes the sustainability agenda very seriously so we are delighted that our construction management partners Mace Ltd are exceeding industry expectations."

The Riverside development at Granta Park is progressing ahead of schedule and interest in the three buildings remains high. The development offers flexible accommodation and workshop space for small and medium-sized companies looking for 2,500 sq ft - 68,000 sq ft.

The three buildings, set around a courtyard next to the River Granta are being constructed simultaneously and are due for completion in early December. At present the site works are focusing on fitting of the feature curtain walling to the entrance's of Buildings A & B and inside finishes are progressing on all floors with plastering, lighting and heating systems being installed and raised floor installation commencing.

The courtyard area in front of the Riverside development is currently being cleared in anticipation of the start of works which will include disabled and visitor parking, access roads and landscaped areas.
