Excellence in Multi-use Buildings

Client: West Northamptonshire Development Corporation (WNDC)
Project: West Northamptonshire is currently going through a period of significant development and massive growth, which has created both challenges and opportunities for the area. West Northamptonshire Development Corporation is keen to find a smarter way of using development funds that would properly involve all partners including the public, private voluntary and community sectors and deliver services in a better way.

WNDC had successfully aligned a wide variety of stakeholders and succeeded in getting agreement in principle to co-locating in multi-use buildings.

FSquared was commissioned to develop a report to inspire the local stakeholders about what can be achieved in multi-use buildings by highlighting areas of best practice, for example in health, education and community facilities. The report was launched at a Best Practice Stakeholder Seminar with presentations, debates and workshops by successful projects.

Outcomes
Fsquared produced a robust, inspirational and highly detailed report looking at best practice for multi-use buildings across the country.

The report highlighted the diverse benefits of delivering local services in a different way, highlighting best practice and innovation in:

• Physical Structure
• Management Arrangements
• Financial Arrangements

The report was then followed by a seminar and debate, highlighting next steps and key arguments to take this approach forward in understanding what was possible for the West Northamptonshire community.
