The Forum project saw several structures built or refurbished and unified under a flowing gridshell roof. As well as unifying these buildings and hosting a dramatic new reception, the roof shelters a range of state-of-the-art teaching and discussion spaces. As a central feature of the Forum, the vision for the roof was to create an enclosed street that links all of the facilities. Engineered to increase the appeal of the university by providing world class facilities that attract the very best students and talent, this project is also exemplary in its energy efficiency. Despite an increase in the area of over 130%, the scheme only consumes 40% more energy than that previously used by the old library alone. KEY FACTS: • State-of-the-art development of the University of Exeter’s campus • Connects several facilities under an extensive curved gridshell roof • Raised the status of the university on all major league tables; reaching 7th in The Times ‘Good University Guide’ and awarded the Sunday Times ‘University of the Year 2012/13’ • The investment resulted in the university scoring very highly (85.7%) in the National Student Services Survey • Received 9 industry awards including RIBA National Award, Higher Education/Research Building of the Year at the prestigious World Architecture Festival in 2013, Civic Trust Award and Green Apple Award THE FORUM | UNIVERSITY OF EXETER, UK 5 Sector Portfolio BUROHAPPOLD ENGINEERING EDUCATION The roof incorporates extensive acoustic absorption to allow for a wide variety of uses in the street space. A real time digital auralisation demonstrated the acoustic environment to the client. This allowed them to hear the effects of issues such as heavy rain on the ETFE roof panels to a rock concert in the adjacent Great Hall. A stunning new centrepiece… This remarkable new development will provide so many new facilities and opportunities for everyone associated with the University of Exeter for many years to come.” Professor Sir Steve Smith Vice Chancellor, University of Exeter THE FORUM | UNIVERSITY OF EXETER, UK 6 Sector Portfolio BUROHAPPOLD ENGINEERING EDUCATION 65t At over 3200m2 in area, spanning up to 27m and with over 2000 individual beams, the largest freeform timber gridshell roof in the UK The client set our design teams very tough sustainability provides a beautiful response targets: to beat Part L energy guideline figures by 10% to the constraints of and to achieve 10% renewable energy on site, with the the site and saves over 65 aim to achieve the sought-after BREEAM ‘Excellent’ tonnes of CO2 when compared rating on completion. to a steel structure. The Result: With annual Part L CO2 emissions of over 27% below building regulations requirements, at only 13.7kg/m2, and an EPC rating of 36(B), the energy performance exceeds the brief by a large margin, achieving the BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

It provides a vibrant hub for the newly established Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI), research areas for the University’s Department of Zoology, a refurbished lecture theatre and a new café. Named in honour of Sir David Attenborough, the transformed building will be a focal point for world leading conservation research. KEY FACTS: • Major refurbishment of a 16,000m2 late 1960s university building • 82% of embodied carbon saved through advising client to retain existing building • Development of innovative bespoke sustainability framework, pushing far beyond BREEAM • Extensive stakeholder engagement on wide range of sustainability issues during design, construction and operation • Low energy strategy reducing operational energy use by 40%, equivalent to £150,000/year savings • Biodiversity roof covering 60% of roof area, developed with the client, tailored to attract regional priority © Nicholas Hare Architects Hare © Nicholas species MAIN IMAGE: IMAGE: MAIN DAVID ATTENBOROUGH BUILDING | UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, UK 10 Sector Portfolio BUROHAPPOLD ENGINEERING EDUCATION The energy strategy was developed to maximise the passive design potential of the building, promoting excellent daylight and natural ventilation. Thermal modelling was undertaken against current and future weather files to ensure comfortable internal conditions. Efficient systems and intelligent controls are used throughout. Rooftop photovoltaics and a combined heat and power (CHP) system provide renewable energy to the building. It is expected that 80% of all current university building stock will still be with us in 2050. That’s why this approach is critical to how we, as engineers, contribute to future buildings (and cities) © Nicholas Hare Architects Hare © Nicholas across the UK and beyond.” Andy Keelin Group Director, Building Services BuroHappold Engineering MAIN IMAGE: IMAGE: MAIN DAVID ATTENBOROUGH BUILDING | UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, UK 11 Sector Portfolio © Nicholas Hare Architects Hare © Nicholas IMAGE: IMAGE: DAVID ATTENBOROUGH BUILDING | UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, UK 12 Sector Portfolio Daylight Rooftop Solar PV Panels linking Daylight linking Daylight linking Natural Daylight linking systems control Daylight LED lights in perimeter rooms, together with presence and Natural absence detection elsewhere, Daylight by dulling or switching off Daylight linking during times when sufficient Natural Daylight linking Daylight natural lighting is available.
