Case Study
Effective Structural Design while Saving Significant
A HEADQUARTERS AND A NEIGHBORHOOD SHOWCASE The new United Kingdom headquarters for banking company Santander has combined four existing U.K. offices into one central hub in Milton Keynes, 50 miles north of London. Unity Place will be the workstation for approximately 5,000 of Santander employees. The GBP 150 million project connects four new structures constructed on the site of a car park with three atria that maximize natural light in the combined building. The project also adds parking for cars and bicycles on the two basement levels and new landscaping with additional trees and a seating area. Santander chose WSP to help design the project.
