Under the proposed plans designed by Hopkins Architects, a further three floors will be added to 100 Liverpool Street including a spectacular restaurant with external terracing on the 9th floor. The design retains the building’s structural frame and uses gently curving facades to give the area a fresh new identity. Connections between 100 Liverpool Street, Liverpool Street Station and the Broadgate Circle will be improved with a new collection of shops and eateries.

Mega is a word that crops up frequently on Phil Clarke’s tour of London Wall Place. Clarke is project director for Brookfield Multiplex Construction, the design and build contractor responsible for the 46,000m2 scheme to deliver two landmark office buildings and a large landscaped area of public realm all within a champagne cork’s popping distance of the residents of London’s Barbican Centre.

Striding purposefully round the site, his name writ large on his white hard hat, he points out the “mega-column” which supports the “mega-truss” before describing the challenges of installing the 70 tonne “mega-beam”. He could easily add mega structural engineering feat and mega construction challenge to his description of the project.

This is a challenging City of London site. “All manner of utilities, services and infrastructure” have, in Clarke’s words, placed constraints on the foundations for the scheme’s two new office buildings. Yet, in spite of these limitations, Make Architects’ design for joint venture developer Brookfield Property Partners and Oxford Properties manages to wrest every last square metre of office space from the site.

That Make has succeeded in achieving this is due in no small part to some remarkable structural engineering by WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff. This has enabled the buildings to offer up space well beyond their basement boundary by incorporating huge cantilevers and giant transfer structures.

The 16-storey Two London Wall Place is the closer of the two buildings to Clarke’s site office. Construction of its large slip-form concrete core is complete and erection of its steel structure has now reached the roof. At first glance this would appear to be a fairly conventional office tower – that is, until you notice that the tower’s south-east corner has no supporting columns at pavement level so that, when it’s built, 15 floors of offices will cantilever out over the pavement by an astounding 11m.

20 Fenchurch Street building

Key points
Planning is underway for Chemistry to occupy the Molecular Sciences Research Hub (“building C”) on the College’s new White City campus. The building is currently under construction with an estimated date for handover of early-2018.
The building will accommodate all of Chemistry’s research and postgraduate training, including space for the Department to grow to become one of the largest in the world, with research spanning across the whole range of modern Molecular Science.
Final year undergraduate projects (MSci/BSc) will also be carried out in the new state-of-the-art research labs at White City. The building also has a large (ca. 242 capacity) lecture theatre, so some undergraduate lectures (particularly for final year students) can also be held there.
Years 1 and 2 undergraduate teaching will largely remain at South Kensington, in upgraded facilities.
Preliminary planning for these upgraded teaching facilities in South Kensington has also started.
