In the North West, across cities such as Manchester and Liverpool which are built on rich industrial and cultural heritage, the opportunities to retrofit the very fabric of these places to meet modern-day requirements, are everywhere.
Buro Happold experts Andrew Tabern, Partner and North West regional lead, and Ethan Conlin, Associate Structural Engineer, discuss the ways in which retrofit is benefitting the North West, and how Buro Happold is helping our clients maximise their assets and de-risk their portfolios, whilst preserving the essence of legacy buildings.
Andrew said, "These buildings give people something familiar, a North Star”, while Ethan added, “Retrofit should not be the exception, it should be the starting point.”
From redefining retrofit as the default approach to leveraging digital tools, retrofit is making a significant impact in the region – benefiting communities and the planet alike.
For all the insights, and more on just a few of our retrofit projects in the North West, such as Manchester Jewish Museum and Tate Liverpool, read the full article here: https://buro.im/NWretrofit
