What is Building Services Engineering?

Why shouldn’t your project use high performance, low energy building systems? We at Buro Happold work as
part of a global team, balance client’s aspirations with engineering (and often budgetary) constraints, to
design high performance, low energy building systems. We use advanced modelling techniques to analyse the
building envelope and its floor layouts. Our innovatively designed systems are then integrated into the
building fabric, to create functional internal spaces and balanced, controllable conditions.

What sort of projects would I work on?

Al Faisaliah, Riyadh – Now one of the region’s most celebrated architectural achievements, Al Faisaliah offers
stunning, efficient spaces with a high degree of flexibility for the future.

The Junction, Leeds, UK - The Junction is a build-to-rent residential and retail scheme that will transform the
former Monksbridge steelworks and adjacent Grade II listed Gritstone viaduct into a vibrant new destination
in the heart of Leeds.

Our designs went through a rigorous approval process to ensure they were in keeping with the planner’s
requirements for the listed viaduct, and we liaised with owners of the adjacent plots to ensure minimal
disruption during the installation of below ground services and utilities.

Harvard University Tozzer Anthropology building, USA - The work to renovate and expand the capacity in the
Tozzer building provides an additional 29% of usable space, including two new floors located in the upper
levels of the building. Now LEED Gold certified, our work has reduced energy consumption by 30%,
delivering an outstanding space for learning with a sustainable future.

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, UK – Our pioneering retractable pitch design ensures the new White Hart
Lane Stadium is a highly flexible sports and entertainment venue. This project is the perfect example of Buro
Happold’s ability to think laterally to find solutions that work for our client. Not only does the new Tottenham
Hotspur FC stadium offer fans a better experience and increase profitability for our client, the design has
proved so inspiring it has catalysed a wider regeneration scheme across Haringey so that the surrounding
area can better support this incredible venue.

Plus pharmaceutical, cultural and civic buildings, high-spec' retail, transport hubs and mixed-use schemes.
