In
2001 Neil Deely and Richard MacCormac led the competition team for
the redevelopment of Broadcasting House for the BBC.
The key ideas for the building centred around improving public access
to the organization, improving departmental relationships to deliver
Greg Dyke’s ‘One BBC’ vision and provide a new
backdrop for All Souls’ Church.
The scheme comprised 25,000 m2 new broadcasting floor space incorporating
a newsroom of over 4500 m2. This dealing floor like space was position
at the heart of the building at lower ground floor level where all
departments could over look it.
The production space was arranged in three conventional 18m deep
floor plates connected to vertical circulation, Broadcasting House
and Egton House site via broad thoroughfares at every level. These
new ‘social’ spaces provide departments with the opportunity
to personalized thresholds and shared meeting room facilities .
