That’s the BREEAM Official OUTSTANDING score achieved by the new London South East Colleges Future Greenwich Campus.

It now officially becomes one of the only Further Education buildings in the UK to achieve this standard, the project shows what can be achieved when sustainability is embedded into the design process from the outset.

Environmental performance was a key consideration throughout the development of the scheme, informing decisions around building fabric, energy systems and passive design strategies. The completed campus incorporates air source heat pumps, an ambient loop heating and cooling system, a bio-solar roof and intelligent building controls, all contributing to a low-carbon learning environment for students and staff.

For us, the result reinforces one of the core pillars of the practice and our commitment to Climate Action: the strongest sustainability outcomes are not achieved through individual technologies alone. They come from setting clear performance targets early and allowing them to shape the design from day one.

A great achievement for London South East Colleges and the wider project team.
