It is now 12 months since the cutting-edge, iconic 22 Bishopsgate building opened its doors for business.
22 Bishopsgate has always had a vision as big as its stature. The designers “imagined the building we’d like to work in’ and created a structure that “isn’t a place of work for people, it’s a place of work for people”. Making an immediate mark on the historic London skyline, 22 Bishopsgate is a building with heart and soul that makes the service users the priority.
Just as a pedestrianised city focuses on the needs of its citizens, 22 Bishopsgate’s concept, design and installation is all about its occupants and having a positive impact on their lives and those around them.
In its revolutionary approach, 22 Bishopsgate incorporates a range of communal areas to enhance the service users experience and operates a sustainable and eco infrastructure.
Recently awarded the perfect platinum #ActiveScore, 22 Bishopsgate is a health and wellbeing champion. Their Active Commuter Park, “filled with…1,700 bike spaces, 75 showers, and over 1,300 secure lockers… makes cycling, walking, or running to work easy” and partnering with The Felix Project (a charity that collects and redistributes food that cannot be sold), 22 Bishopsgate consistently demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and community.
If you are visit, work or live in 22 Bishopsgate you will be treated to:
The Lobby – “Filled with plants and greenery, which are proven to decrease anxiety, and increase concentration, as well as releasing oxygen to purify our city air.”
The Market – “This is a space committed to delivering nutritious food for the body and mind with sustainable practices ensuring a zero-waste policy.”
Bar & Restaurant – “Imagined as a place for people to come and really enjoy the cityscape whilst indulging in well-made food and drink, day or night”
Convene – “US-based premium meeting, event, and workplace start-up…oversee spaces available to hire within the building; … all bookable as short-term space.”
The Gym – “The space also features carefully chosen equipment, a suite of inviting studio spaces, and a comprehensive class schedule – meaning there is something to suit everyone.”
The Retreat – “The space offers a suite of key medical, holistic and wellness services onsite and makes looking after yourself easy.”
The Exchange – “A meeting point for experienced names and emerging talent to collaborate, the Exchange hosts events, panels, and one-on-ones.”
When open to the public, the 22 Bishopsgate Viewing Gallery will be free and the highest cityscape view in London will be open to all.
SVM Associates are proud to be part of the team that have been trusted to bring this urban space to life for all of the building users and to fulfil the 22 Bishopsgate vision.
Using our specialist vertical transportation experience, we partnered with the 22 Bishopsgate Management Team to reinvent and reimagine the way the contractors, the service team, the owners and the occupants interact as the construction phase comes to an end, in the same way 22 Bishopsgate has reimagined living and work space.
