Greendale achieves ‘Excellent’ rating’ from BREEAM for BU work

Chartered building company Greendale Construction Limited has achieved a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’ for its work at Bournemouth University’s Studland House.

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method) is the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for master-planning projects, infrastructure, and buildings.

The 25-week works on phase 2 – and 28 weeks on phase 3 – of Studland House carried out by Greendale during the £2.1 million contract for Bournemouth University, involved the complete refurbishment of floors one, three and four, plus the local refurbishment of the toilet areas on the ground floor.

The new space on the ground floor now provides additional active travel facilities along with new accessible, gender-neutral toilets.

The upper floors also benefited from toilet refurbishments on each floor in the core areas, larger open plan office arrangements with separate meeting rooms, and break-out spaces, store-rooms and kitchenettes.

The same theme across all the floors was maintained, but layouts were tailored to the individual department needs.

Marcin Grabowski, Estates Programme Manager, BU, pictured left, said: “In line with BU’s commitment to environmental sustainability, all our major refurbishments must achieve BREEAM ‘very good’ as a minimum.

“Thanks to the fantastic effort from BU and Greendale Construction Limited, the Studland House project has now surpassed BU internal target and Greendale contractual obligations and achieved BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

“It is even more impressive considering that the original target has been exceeded by almost 18 per cent.

“Greendale’s collaborative approach, and willingness to go the extra mile, was fundamental to this project’s overall success, resulting in fantastic, sustainable facilities and satisfied end-users.”

AFC Bournemouth and REIDsteel team up to help youngsters get active

The AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust has joined forces with REIDsteel to deliver its popular Premier League Kicks initiative.

Through the programme, the Trust offers free football sessions to young people in some of Bournemouth’s most underprivileged areas.

The sessions run five nights a week at various locations in Bournemouth, harnessing the power of football to improve people’s physical and mental wellbeing.

Open to boys and girls aged eight to 19, Premier League Kicks has already helped 1,000 young people enjoy getting active in a safe environment where they can have fun with friends.

As part of the programme, there are also regular workshops available for participants at AFC Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium, focusing on internet safety, mental health, and combatting racism.

The partnership with Christchurch-based REIDsteel will see the company’s employees volunteer at the sessions.

They’ll work with AFC Bournemouth player ambassadors, Chris Mepham and Abby Jones, to deliver special experiences for the participants.

Steve Cuss, Head of AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust, said: “Our Premier League Kicks programme provides a great opportunity for young people who may not normally have the opportunity to enjoy all the physical and mental health benefits of an organised football session.

“As a football club that aims to unite the local community through our sport, this is a very important project and we are very grateful to REIDsteel for their support in helping us deliver it.”

Donna Campo, REIDsteel Operations Director, pictured with Steve, said: “Our ‘one team’ approach values every member of our team and encourages positive wellbeing which fits perfectly with the ethos of the AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust.

“The Premier League Kicks initiative is excellent for the local community.

“We’re excited to be a part of it and hope many of our employees will become involved.”
