About the asset

Meadowhall is one of the largest shopping centre in the UK, providing 1.5m sq. ft of retail space, containing 293 retailers. The BREEAM rating builds on the centre’s Excellent Rating in 2015. We were very keen to improve on this score and include the positive benefits added to the centre as part of the recently completed £60m mall refurbishment. The inclusion of sound and scent contributed to the 100% Health and Well Being rating. Meanwhile, the use of local suppliers and materials greatly benefited the 100% score on materials and our use of the external soft landscaping enabled us to achieve the 100% score on Land Use and Ecology.

Why did the project use BREEAM?

BREEAM is a well-established and recognised mechanism to demonstrate the sustainability and green credentials of Meadowhall. We are delighted with the Outstanding rating, which is a clear testament to the hard work achieved at the centre and the proactive sustainability and environmental policies set by British land.
