The multifaceted concept of social value, including social sustainability in architecture, is something Bryden Wood project teams aim to consider at every stage; the most value to the end user and community, the most sustainable solution, the optimum solution for the problem statement.

The social value of this project was the continued development of this drug, and what that brought to the community who relied on it.. We made sure that everyone in the project team understood the importance of the project and felt that they had a personal responsibility to ensure its success.Individuals were involved from start to finish to ensure engagement, and continuity of knowledge.. To better enable understanding of this highly complex manufacturing process, we developed a conceptual model of the project, which is a powerful tool that helps people visualise the design and specify requirements.

We held workshops with key stakeholders to evaluate different layout, facility, and manufacturing options.We developed strategies that we were confident could be delivered locally in Italy.. We made extensive use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and 3D visualisation from the very earliest stages.We used modular design principles for both equipment and layout, to maximise adaptability and flexibility of the finished facility..

The project ensured that GSK and ViiV Healthcare were able to make enough product to continue clinical trials, and were able to make the required regulatory submissions to the FDA and CHMP.. Understanding use and creating an improved environment.Our Design to Value approach, and fascination with data, and understanding processes and uses of buildings, as at Parma, often leads to solutions which are focused on highly efficient design, and the optimum solution for the end user.. Bryden Wood have worked closely with Circle Healthcare on many projects, including their Reading and Birmingham Hospitals.

In these projects, Bryden Wood strove to understand the clinical practicalities of the hospital, balancing many stakeholder needs.

At Circle Birmingham, as in any hospital, the key project was excellent and efficient patient care, and Bryden Wood’s approach was to make this as easy as possible for the staff, while creating a welcoming, beautiful environment for patients.Measures to improve hygiene and reduce the transmission of pathogens include the adoption of touchless technology (light switches, lift buttons, doors), antiviral coatings and the provision of hand sanitiser dispensers.

Attenuation measures include the provision of openable windows, increased fresh air rates and avoiding air recirculation..Balancing improvements to air quality and energy efficiency..

Some of the recommendations widely accepted in the industry for the re-occupation of buildings post-pandemic have a direct impact on energy efficiency.In order to improve indoor air quality and reduce the likelihood of pathogens, fresh air rates need to be increased and air filters should be installed.
