RBGKEW1297 - Learning Centre

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Thank you for your recent expression of interest in the forthcoming tender exercise for the provision of new construction works at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

The Learning Centre will take account of the most recent developments in learning to ensure it is an inspirational space for users of all ages and appeals to a broader range of audience than the current space The fundamental client brief for the Learning Centre is to offer new teaching spaces and facilities for learning but this is qualified by the requirement for any new building delivered within the current Kew masterplan to comply with the 2021- 2030 Manifesto for Change.

This requires the building to achieve the highest possible level of energy efficiency from the building fabric and its services installation and for the embodied carbon employed in the structure of the building to be minimised and ideally repaid by the renewable energy created by the building within its service lifespan.
