Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), 1 Regent Street

The vision

This project is a low-carbon retrofit of a 1930’s former telephone exchange building in a prominent Cambridge City centre location for the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL).

Regent Street is an extremely busy main route into the city centre, used by cars, buses, pedestrians and cyclists, reflecting its historic function as an important approach to the city from the south. Its mixture of architecture illustrates its initial development in the late 18th and early 19th Century as the city spread out to the south along the old Roman road. Subsequent redevelopment has managed to maintain many of the architectural characteristics, some times more successfully than others, whilst the many historic shopfronts maintain its character as a commercial area.

Once complete the building will operate as the new Head Office for CISL as well as providing co-working space for corporate partners and SMEs along with the creation of an exhibition space to not only teach and inspire, but to promote new and innovative technologies.

With the requirement to decarbonise existing building stock ever increasing, one of the overarching objectives for this project is to challenge the misconception that a sustainable project costs more than its ‘standard’ equivalent with the team wanting to show that the process can be replicated in the future.

In addition to the main sustainability targets, the design team continued to progress the design in pursuit of the overarching aims of the high level brief: Circular Office case study, embodied carbon <300kg CO2/m2 [100 year], 50 technology innovations, 50% bio-based materials and traceability.

Our Role

One of the critical deliverables required on this project was liaising with and obtaining buy-in from all key stakeholders, with CISL’s aspirations having to be accommodated within the wider University estate and its procedures. We achieved this by holding collaborative workshops at each RIBA Stage to enable the design team to present ideas and gain feedback, update stakeholders on objectives and also invite external speakers to share knowledge on what we’re trying to achieve.

Delivery

3PM has been built on the strength of our long term relationships developed with our valued clients, project teams and third parties alike. Our business was specifically established to provide a personal yet professional service, and we continue to evolve to adapt our services by listening to our clients’ needs and providing tailored advice specific to the business needs of each.
Our ethos and culture is underpinned by trust, honesty and diligence to create a collaborative environment with our industry colleagues based on mutual respect. We continue to partner with the best in the industry to form specialist, cohesive teams in order to provide high performance solutions for our mutual clients.
At the core of our business is our passionate and tenacious team who are empowered to make decisions and will go the extra mile to achieve the best results on everything we do. We have developed an environment based on harnessing teamwork, rewarding success and recognising the skills and talents of the whole team.

Creativity

Project Management is not usually associated with creativity, as it is traditionally the preserve of the design contingent within project teams. At 3PM creativity means that we will always look to develop solutions that can be explained in a variety of styles, forms and outputs, all of which are tailored for the audience rather than just delivering what can sometimes be a routine answer.
We use tools and techniques that we have developed to ensure the advice we are providing can be understood by all and can be implemented in a number of ways to achieve the same result.
At 3PM we take the strategic view of all commissions to identify where opportunities lie to add value and act as the catalyst by bringing together the best teams for our clients. We spend time looking at what the client needs; asking why they need what they have asked for and what behaviours and skills are best suited to deliver the need they have of the team.
We feel that our expertise and the way we deliver complex scenarios is our differentiation from the established traditions and perceptions of Project Management execution.
We pride ourselves on our ability to create an environment that encourages innovation and tests the perceived norms.
We look for bespoke solutions where appropriate that enhance our clients’ existing systems and add to the Intellectual Property of all our commissions.
