Planning application
UCL Cruciform Building Gower Street London WC1E 6AE
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The works involve replacing the existing heating, steam and condensate pipework that are currently in a sub-basement duct which runs between the adjacent Rockefeller Building and The Cruciform Building. The route of the new pipework runs at basement level via the link tunnel between the two buildings and vaults adjacent to The Cruciform Building. As part of the re-routing the pipework will need to leave the vaults, cross the lightwell and enter The Cruciform Building basement plantroom via new core drilled holes. The reason for the re-routing is that the structural condition and presence of asbestos would entail a prolonged shutdown of the existing services .
