The Logistics Operations Centre developed by Prologis at a site in Solihull, provides warehouse and automated storage retrieval systems across 98,000sqm of floor space.
Built in just over a year during the coronavirus pandemic, Ridge acted as Architects and Lead Designers from concept to completion, delivering on complex projects within fast timescales through creative design and collaboration in BIM to realise our clients’ visions.
The new facility will enable the client to increase efficiency through automation and reduce HGV movements, saving the equivalent of 1,120 tonnes of Co2 each year, aiding just-in-time production and addressing supply chain issues. The building is designed to BREEAM Very Good and is Net Zero Carbon.
Built on an infill site adjacent to Birmingham International Airport, the project required rerouting of an existing highway, drainage and powerlines under a S278 Agreement as well as a new sustainable and ecological landscaping strategy.
