Falmer Campus, Mayfield House Project Status: Completed
Mayfield House has been constructed over three levels to provide approximately 5,600m2 of accommodation for offices and teaching, including a 150 seat lecture theatre, performance studio and a fast food outlet.
Generally, the building is naturally ventilated with automatic opening windows assisting air movement via the building management system control. Supplementary mechanical ventilation is also provided to maintain design air change and temperature levels to the few occaisions it is required. Comfort cooling has been installed where heat gains cannot be contained by ventilation alone, for example, the lecture theatre and computer suite. The building is heated by means of radiators.
With the ceiling heights for teaching and office accommodation generally set at 2.7m, the lighting system utilises suspended direct/indirect luminaires providing approximately 30% illumination on ceilings and 50% on walls, whilst maintianing glare and reflection criteria for VDU workspaces.
The atrium is illuminated by high level metal halide luminaires supplemented by low level by functional low energy lighting. Natural daylight within the atrium achieves an average of 250 lux at floor level and the artificial lighting is automaticlly controlled to supplement the natural daylight to provide an average illuminatiion of 300 lux.
Power, telephone and data services are provided by a flexible system of recessed floor boxes set within the continuous raised floor system. The construction also incorporates a new 1.5MW sub-station and site Communications room.
