The new Brent Civic Centre is a multi purpose development that allows the Council to consolidate many of its staff into one unified facility. Located opposite the world famous Wembley Stadium, the project has scored an impressive BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating and has incorporated an array of sustainable features. These include a 33% reduction in carbon emissions, thanks to a combination of solar shading, natural ventilation, high performance facade, and combined cooling, heating and power which utilises waste fish oil. Overall, the project is a hybrid structure that incorporates a number of high quality and complex steel elements. "All of the steel parts are isolated and provide the building with a lot of visual interest through the detailing," says Robert Barker, URS Project Engineer.
