ISG has secured an iconic project in London's Docklands to build a £30 million centre of sustainability excellence for Siemens.

The Siemens Pavilion development, within the new Green Enterprise District stretching across East London, has been designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects with Pringle Brandon as a model for sustainable construction and will become a permanent exhibition and education space showcasing innovative green technologies.


Designed to achieve a BREEAM excellent environmental performance rating, the three-storey steel frame structure incorporates rainwater harvesting and re-use, photovoltaic cells, a ground source heat pump, solar water heating and extensive areas of high performance glazing to maximise the volume of natural light entering the building.

Public areas include a large interactive exhibition space with an education facility and dockside café, whilst the Pavilion also boasts a 300 seat auditorium, meeting rooms and high specification commercial office accommodation for around 230 Siemens employees. The project is due to commence in November and will open to the public in spring 2012.
