Dowds Awarded M&E Contract with London School of Economics and Political Science at 35 Lincoln’s Inn Fields

We’re thrilled to announce that Dowds has been appointed to deliver the M&E package on a landmark retrofit project for the The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

Working alongside McLaren Construction Group as Main Contractor, the project will see the retrofit and extension of an existing 1950s building to create the new a transformational space for learning, collaboration, and global engagement.

The scheme is as a sustainability flagship for the LSE, targeting:

• Passivhaus Certification
• BREEAM Outstanding
• WELL Gold

Ambitious targets have been set in relation to water use and recovery, with predicted embodied carbon and operational energy in line with the UK Net Zero Carbon Pilot guidance.

We’re proud to be contributing our Mechanical and Electrical expertise to a project that sets a new benchmark for sustainable retrofit in higher education.
