The client.
8 Bishopsgate is a landmark, multi-tenant office development in the heart of London, designed by WilkinsonEyre. With a strong focus on sustainability and workplace experience, the building is a premier choice for organisations seeking a modern and efficient workspace.
The client’s goal was to create an environment where employees genuinely want to be, ensuring convenience, functionality, and a seamless user experience throughout the building.
The project.
As part of the initiative to enhance workplace experience, the project included designing and installing smart lockers in the basement. Simplicity smart lockers were the perfect fit due to their strong sustainability credentials and ability to integrate seamlessly with existing systems. Plus, their mobile app functionality eliminates the need for access cards, making storage even more convenient for tenants.
To maximise available storage space, the solution featured Z-shaped lockers with dedicated shoe storage below, providing an efficient and ergonomic storage system. Additionally, the control panels were installed separately from the lockers, ensuring every inch of space was optimised without compromising ease of use.
The results.
Simplicity smart lockers have been a game changer for 8 Bishopsgate, reinforcing its reputation as a sought-after workplace destination. Tenants have found the lockers to be a huge selling point, as they align with the building’s strong commitment to sustainability and user-friendly design.
Furthermore, 8 Bishopsgate has received multiple awards for its sustainability initiatives and great workplace experience, and the smart locker system has played a key role in supporting this achievement. By prioritising innovative, space-efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions, the project has set a new benchmark for office developments in London and beyond.
