Bennett Construction were the Main Contractor on the high spec office fitout of a custom built new headquarters on City Quay Grant Thornton .
The seven-storey building was designed by Henry J Lyons, the fit-out designed by MCA architects and built by Bennett Construction with input from Grant Thornton throughout the design, build and fit-out. More than 250 jobs were supported during the 2-year construction phase.
Occupying six of seven floors in the building, the move provides Grant Thornton with 115,000 square feet of floor space, with hot-desking and paperless working at the firm set to maximise the space further.
Key features of the new building include 360-degree views of the city through the 994 panes of glass that make up the structure. It has an open plan layout with a mix of collaborative and quiet work spaces, new cyber/forensics lab, the latest virtual conferencing technology, client lounge complete with café and roof top terrace and the Academy – a dedicated facility for graduate training and development.
