H&K were appointed as mechanical and electrical services consultant for Kier Construction’s refurbishment of Rougemont House in association with Exeter College and the University of Exeter. The £1m project consisted of refurbishing the existing building which is a mathematics centre of excellence for gifted students.
Kensington Neighbourhood Health Centre
Consisting of one in a group of four new neighbourhood healthcare centres completed by Hulley & Kirkwood for L&SHP under the LIFT scheme, the £6m project in the Kensington area of Liverpool was the final phase and benefitted from a number of design and client lessons learned to produce a superb facility consisting of GP consulting rooms, podiatry, dental surgeries, treatment rooms, minor surgery facilities, group rooms and the all-important adjacent pharmacy facility.
Our appointment on four centres, including Kensington, was for the full M&E design and BREEAM.
Kensington achieved a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’ and is supported by on-site renewable generation in the form of 144m² of photovoltaic panels providing circa 33kW of electrical energy.
Lancashire Country Cricket Club
The new revitalised, renamed and radically transformed Emirates Old Trafford, Lancashire County Cricket Club has been awarded Project of the Year at the Stadium Business Awards 2014. The Lancashire venue has hosted some of the most exciting matches in cricket history. The £20m redevelopment of the Old Trafford cricket ground has metamorphosed the historic venue into one of the country’s premier sporting destinations with two new grandstands, a revamp of the existing pavilion (with 15,000 seats extendable to 25,000 seats), state of the art new player and media facilities, a big screen and advanced floodlighting. The wicket was also re-orientated to run north-south for the first time in 150 years. The new facilities were set to the highest new standards for International cricket providing a host of new educational and training opportunities for the local community.
Hulley & Kirkwood provided the M&E design system with sustainable features such as rainwater harvesting; solar hot water, low energy lighting, super insulation and inverter driven displacement ventilation. To provide the flexibility required, large power supplies were distributed within the raised floors to serve each of the suite split options; there are lighting control systems to each area and an in house PA system for speech and background music. H&K also provided the design of the new permanent floodlighting system consisting of four 53 metre high masts each with 107No. 1.5kW lamp “Green Generation” luminaires. Spill light was a key concern for this installation, not least due to its neighbouring residential situation; this has been successfully dealt with using luminaire light direction controllers and gun-sight aiming of the point sources.
Kensington Neighbourhood Health Centre
Following on from an award at the 2014 RICS Awards North West, Kensington Neighbourhood Health Centre has won two awards at the 2014 North West Regional Construction Awards for Regional Project of the Year and was Highly Commended in the Integration and Collaborative Working category.

Bathgate Partnership Centre, West Lothian
This 2,550m² project for West Lothian Council consolidates the previously dispersed council services under one roof.

Hulley & Kirkwood developed a low energy services solution resulting in the design strategy leading to an EPC “A” Rating Certificate.
Fife Acute Hospital
The new £170m acute facility at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, was described by the judges as ‘a highly-successful example of how a carefully-considered design, co-ordination and construction method derived through designer/contractor collaboration can help to safely deliver a sustainable and cost-efficient new healthcare facility’. Two notable features of the project are the extensive use of prefabrication for the M&E elements of the project, and a new energy centre providing the electrical supply and standby power generation for the entire site. A confirmed EPC Rating of “B” represents an excellent achievement for the design of a highly serviced acute hospital facility.
