Love it or list it? How to breathe new life into ageing office assets

13 June 2024

8:30 -10:30

Many office buildings are on the cusp of being stranded by their environmental performance and their lack of desirability to occupants. On top of this, societal shifts are encouraging us to rethink how we use our offices and if they should be fully or partially repurposed for new use.

This panel discussion with Q&A will explore:
• How to transform London’s diverse office buildings to meet these challenges.
• Topics include societal trends, retrofitting risks and opportunities, and how we can create attractive, socially impactful spaces.
• Pioneering engineering solutions that enhance building performance, with a case study on the retrofit of WSP's London HQ, 70 Chancery Lane.

Panellists include:

Benjamin Lesser, Head of Design and Innovation, Derwent London
Sukriye (Rae) Robinson, Associate, SOM
Nick Offer, Head of Building Services, WSP
Sam Smith, Technical Director Building Services, WSP

Join us to learn how to future-proof our buildings.

Registration, breakfast and networking: 8.30am – 9am
