No.1 Innovation Close at University of York – complete!
Our latest workplace project for University of York completed this week. This scheme involved the full refurbishment of three floors of an existing building: delivering approximately 15,000sqft of contemporary offices. The space will be a new home for university teams including Estates, IT Services, Accommodation, Campus & Commercial Services, Finance and Human Resources.
Work on site began in June 2025, and it is anticipated that the teams will start to occupy the building from November 2025. After successfully completing the new Professional Services Hub 2 (PS HUB 2) at Market Square in May 2025, the team have now delivered PS Hub 3. The Hub will offer a variety of spaces to suit different ways of working and provide a flexible workspace. The offices will include touchdown areas for quick tasks, bookable desks, dedicated Zoom pods and rooms, and more traditional meeting rooms.
This new Hub is part of the University’s plan to make better use of its properties. Moving some of the Professional Services teams into this building will assist in streamlining the University’s operations and ensure the creation of high-quality, effective and efficient workspaces across all locations.
It has been fantastic working once more with some familiar faces within the delivery team, including Turner & Townsend, BWB and Lodestone.
Well done again to Fusiliers Steve Bell and Kiaya Bass for all your creativity and hard work on this one.
Big thanks also to John Kees Photography.
