Project Example: Arbury Grid and Primary Substation, Kings Hedges Road, Cambridge
ASAP designed the building envelope (situated close the Cambridge Science Park), which was well-received by the planning authority and the local community who nicknamed the building as "The Ski Slope". ASAP resolved the initial objections raised by local residents and the strategic local planning authorities by justifying the selected location and providing a design that was suitable against the backdrop of the prestigious Cambridge Science Park. ASAP also co-ordinated the full Environmental Impact Assessment. EDFE was awarded 2 commendations for the design by the Institute of Civil Engineers in 2010.
