Use of a Sustainable Drainage System (SUDS) on the main and peripheral car parks
Nature roof on the Eyre Studio to improve air quality around the building and reduce airborne pollutants
Measures to protect wildlife species and their habitats including the integration of swift nesting boxes and bat roosts; within buildings
Rainwater harvesting from building structures for re-use in garden irrigation
Use of biomass energy for heating systems, reducing harmful CO2 emissions
