Four lifts on the southern wing of the office provide vertical access from all three levels of the basement up into the office levels , with careful analysis being done to ensure the lifts could run efficiently with the volume of staff utilising the upper floors . The ground floor office space of around 850m 2 has 360 º glazed façades with direct access to the central landscaped gardens .
The 1st , 2nd and 3rd floor areas of around 1,250m 2 function as office space and each level contains its own pause area with kitchen and
seating . The 3rd level also integrates the bridge link access into its northern footprint . This link corridor also contains a day clinic which allows for access to medical facilities during working hours without having to leave the campus .
The bulk of the 1,150m 2 4th floor has a similar office and pause area , but the office space also exits onto the east facing balcony . The well orientated balconies mean the external space is free from harsh midday sun and also turns its back on the wet weather .
