AIMS, Mercury Place, Leicester

Commercial

Mercury Place is one of Leicester’s most prominent office buildings, situated in a prime commercial business district location.

Built in the 1960’s for the Leicester Mercury Newspaper Group, the building has been refurbished externally and internally on a phased basis, with majority of the internal space now providing grade-A offices.

This project consisted of the conversion of the existing ground floor open plan space at Mercury Place into an office accommodation for AIMS Holdings.

Kennedy Redford were appointed as MEP consultants, and our team delivered MEP performance duties for the scheme which was designed and built within a very confined site next to busy roads and surrounded by other occupied buildings. Our role included delivering design intent documentation and an indicative services strategy for the construction team.

The main features of the project include, low-flow sanitaryware fittings, VRF space heating and cooling, low-energy lighting and efficient building services.
