This project delivered over 300+ meeting rooms, collaboration spaces, dining and divisible event spaces across 13 floors. From small booths to standard meeting spaces, collaboration zones to a double height auditorium and ante space capable of seating over 100 people with broadcast grade facilities including dedicated simultaneous translation booths to support broadcast in multiple languages.

The EBRD implemented a Microsoft Teams UC environment with full connectivity and functionality linking to the regional offices, providing a highly automated and easy to use experience. 

There is a large auditorium with simultaneous interpretation booths which support broadcast in multiple languages and broadcast routing between spaces for both live streaming and capture of recorded content.  In addition the Boardroom, also provides six simultaneous interpretation booths and broadcast routing between the spaces for both live streaming and recorded content capture.

A Podcast Studio and Editing Suite provides the technology and space for content to be professionally recorded with production lighting and supplemented with multiple chroma key backgrounds for offline editing and distribution.

All key spaces have full 4K capability, including end-to-end 12G SDI distribution for uncompressed end-to-end 4K video. Building-wide IPTV and digital signage via Tripleplay provide internal communication channels for the communications team with all digital multimedia supported by a dedicated AVNOC which manages centralised AV distribution via a converged IT network and remote monitoring and control supported by a Crestron NVX AV over IP distribution system. Spotter cameras are provided in high profile areas with the ability to provide alerts as required for GDPR purposes to let people know when a space is being monitored.

Five Bank Street is one of the most environmentally advanced and efficient offices in the UK, with an Environmental Performance Certificate (EPC) A rating, and is on track to achieve BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Building Standard Platinum rating.

Through a co-creation approach the project team worked with the EBRD to navigate the scale of the transition by bringing everyone within the organisation on the journey to create the new headquarters.
