Overview

This design review of a hotel has been conducted to assess the waste savings available through adoption of appropriate waste minimisation design solutions. The proposed hotel forms a part of the BioRegional Quintain Ltd (BQL) redevelopment of waterfront land at the former Middlesbrough docks in Middlehaven. The project team includes BQL, Martin Stockley Associates, DSSR and Buro Four. The design review was conducted by BioRegional Consulting Ltd.

Middlehaven is a 250 acre site at the heart of Middlesbrough’s redevelopment programme. The proposed BQL regeneration forms the first 40 acre, £200m phase and offers a wide variety of residential accommodation, commercial opportunities and community spaces. The proposed hotel reviewed in this project forms part of a later development stage and will be operated as part of an international chain. Stage B2 of the project was completed in November 2007 and it is anticipated that Stage C3, outline design, will commence in March 2008.
The proposed hotel comprises:

1. Ground and first floor as public areas including lobby, restaurant, kitchen, meeting rooms and back of house areas.
2. Guest floors based on a typical floor plan of 18 rooms per floor, with each room conforming to the operator brand of a bedroom and bathroom.
