Providing a sustainable studying and working environment for students and staff

LIFE PROJECT, LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS

As a Development Partner and Lead Supporter with the RICS on the SKA Higher Education (HE) scheme, Rider Levett Bucknall UK was appointed to provide the SKA Rating assessment of the Life Project.

This project is located within the Lionel Robbins Building for the London School of Economics and it includes open plan library study areas, staff offices, circulation areas and meeting rooms.

• Waste Measures – revised criteria
• Social Value actions
