Consisting of ten commercial buildings, MaximOffice Park in Lanarkshire, has a total floor plate of 756,000 sq. ft - the equivalent to 27 football pitches and is the largest speculatively built office park scheme in the UK. It is one of Scotland’s key business locations and once completed could provide around 7,000 new jobs.
The scheme, branded as the ‘ultimate office park’, has been heralded as the blueprint for 21st century business park construction due to its sheer scale, high quality design and onsite facilities. Designed to a rating of ‘Very Good’, Maxim building 5, the largest of the commercial developments on the site, has exceeded its predicted rating and achieved a BREEAM score of ‘Excellent’. The remaining nine buildings each achieved a rating of ‘Very Good’.
Sustainable solutions at Maxim Office Park includes the use of high performance glazing designed to reduce solar heat gain in each of the buildings, energy efficient lighting, controlling light infiltration during daylight hours, rainwater recycling systems and water fittings that run on a low water content, and heating and cooling systems which when installed provide a high efficiency variable refrigerant flow.
The project is due for completion in March 2010.
