Onyx

CEG managed a £5million investment to reimagine this historic building last year. By refurbishing the existing building, the team were able to significantly reduce the use of raw materials and limit the embodied carbon emissions that would have been generated through demolition and the production and transportation of new construction materials.

Equipment was upgraded and repurposed and innovative technologies have helped deliver further improvements to energy efficiency helping the building, and the businesses within it, reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint.

100% of the project’s waste was diverted from landfill and, with a focus on phasing out onsite fossil fuels, electricity is supplied through a renewable energy contract. Tenants can also benefit from cycle facilities and health club-style shower facilities to encourage sustainable travel.

Graham Forsyth, director at Cooper Cromar, said: “ONYX is the home of Cooper Cromar which made the design, and the award win, all the more special. The new facilities, including the café and cycling amenities, along with CEG’s approach to health, wellbeing and productivity of those based in its buildings, has created a fantastic working environment for our fast-growing team."
