Princes Foods: Liverpool

Location: Liverpool
Sector: Food & Drink
Project size: 56,000 sq ft
Scope of works: design > refurbishment {Grade 1 Listed Building}

The Brief

Claremont were appointed for the interior  design, fit-out and audio -visual installation.
The brief was to demolish and strip back all of the existing decor to expose the original shell of the building and start afresh from that point.  This included the air conditioning, plumbing, kitchens, suspended ceilings, suspended timber floor installation, all internal partition systems, lighting, power and fire alarm circuits.  Princes wanted to create a light and bright space with more effective storage solutions to  minimise clutter and improve productivity. Claremont were also tasked with creating a new executive  suite in the new half of the 5th floor overlooking the river.

The Solution

Claremont have created a  space consisting of meeting rooms, a large boardroom with AV elements, an executive suite, open plan offices, kitchens, brew point and comms room.  The scheme comprises a new air cooling system working alongside an existing heating system in perimeter radiators, with a new lighting system, some of which are passive controlled and generally light sensitive.  A raised floor with electric boxes strategically placed will provide power to workstations and printer points and above, a suspended ceiling will house the M&E.  Operable walls and storage walls have been installed in the open plan space making storage more  effective.

The Result

Claremont were already on site at The Royal Liver Building,  renovating the common areas of the building when the project commenced. We worked closely with the facilities manager to create a space in keeping with the traditional company ethos. In  total, Princes Foods occupy approximately 56000 sq ft of space making them the largest tenant, in terms of space, at The Royal Liver Building. The works have been completed over a 60 week phased programme and Princes  decanted  into each space as and when hand over took place. Claremont were also responsible for the move management process throughout the works.
