Edenica scheme pioneers material passports in City of London

We partner with leading consultancies across the UK who deliver some of the most interesting and high-profile projects. One such project is the Elland Road Stadium expansion, where an award-winning civil and structural engineering consultancy in Leeds is playing a key role. Leeds United has set out its vision to redevelop Elland Road Stadium, with plans designed to enhance capacity and facilities while respecting the historic character of the ground. Key proposals include: - Expansion to a 53,000-seat capacity - Modernisation of the West and North Stands, with a focus on accessibility and comfort - Permission for up to eight non-match day events per year, such as concerts - A new club museum to enrich the visitor experience - Commitment to sustainability, active travel and public transport The design aims to balance heritage with modern aesthetics and functionality, ensuring a legacy for supporters and the wider community. Elland Road Stadium dates back to 1905, with all four stands expanded, redeveloped, or enhanced over time. The last major change came 33 years ago with the construction of the East Stand, making this the most significant redevelopment in a generation. Economic impact - Growth in annual visitors from 1.4 million to over 2 million - Creation of 70 to 100 permanent roles and 635 matchday roles - An estimated £29 million increase in Gross Value Added (GVA) to the Leeds economy each year The redevelopment will be delivered in phases, beginning with a planning application in 2025 and construction set to start in 2026, with a strong focus on fan experience, sustainability and future growth.

As part of SJ Group, we’re proud to be sponsoring this year’s Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) International Conference, taking place in Toronto, Canada, this week (6–9 October). This year’s theme, ‘From the Ground Up: Tall Buildings and City-Making’, deeply aligns with our mission at Robert Bird Group. It emphasises the importance of designing urban environments that go beyond height and scale, focusing on how tall buildings engage with the public realm to foster vibrant, connected communities. Our expertise in structural, civil, and construction engineering is rooted in creating buildings that not only reach new heights but also contribute meaningfully to the streetscape and the social fabric of cities. We’re looking forward to joining global thought leaders in shaping the future of urban development. Our RBG delegates at the conference: Jason Langer, George Andrianakos, Nicholas Doyle and Simon Cloherty Find out more about CTBUH 2025: https://brnw.ch/21wWmTn

United or Not United, That Is the Question. As I head south next week for the NSW/ACT AIBS Conference in #Sydney, followed by meetings and the Expo in #Melbourne, I leave you with something to ponder. The Building Code of Australia (BCA) offers an interesting provision, Part A7: United Buildings, which outlines how multiple buildings may be treated as a single building under certain conditions. A7G1 – United Buildings Under this clause, two or more Class 2–9 buildings that are adjoining and interconnected (e.g. via wall openings, tunnels, bridges, or covered walkways) may be considered one ‘united building’, provided they jointly comply with all NCC requirements as though they are a single structure. Notably, additional fire protection is not required for new openings if the united building complies as a whole. However, if the buildings do not meet all shared requirements, they remain separate buildings, and protective measures such as fire doors may then be necessary. Now, consider the image in this post (see below): These are three adjacent buildings, but they are not interconnected by wall openings, tunnels, bridges, or covered walkways. The proposed works do not create such connections. So, I pose these questions to you: Can this be considered a united building under A7? Could a performance solution make this possible, and is such a solution even available in Section A of the BCA? Would this simply be a combined building, but not a united one under the code? And what does that mean in terms of compliance, especially around fire safety and building use? What are your thoughts on this? #BuildingCode #BCA #NCC #UnitedBuildings #PerformanceSolutions #BuildingSurveying #AIBS #ConstructionCompliance #FireSafety #Architecture #NSW #ACT #AIBS #MelbourneExpo #ConstructionSector #Building

Reframing Demolition: What Can Canada Learn from Europe’s Shift Toward Reuse? Every minute, a building in Europe is destroyed — not by natural disaster, but by human hands. By 2050, over 2 billion square metres of existing space will have been demolished — the equivalent of half of Germany’s building stock. The documentary To Build Law, produced by the CCA, Canadian Centre for Architecture, follows the German collective bplus.xyz and the creation of HouseEurope!, a European initiative calling for a shift in how we value and work with our existing buildings. Their message: adaptation and reuse must become the norm if we are to meet our social, environmental, and cultural goals. 🎬 Join us for a free screening and panel discussion hosted by the Canadian Assoc. of Heritage Professionals | Assoc. canadienne d'experts-conseils en patrimonie, National Trust for Canada, and Faculty of Architecture and Planning at Dalhousie University’s. After the film, a moderated panel will explore how these themes translate in a Canadian context: How can we build professional capacity to work confidently with existing structures and materials? How can heritage, sustainability, and circular economy policy align to reduce unnecessary demolition? What systems, incentives, and collaborations are already emerging to make reuse practical at scale? 🗣️ Panelists: Carly Connor, P.Eng., CAHP (Green Salvaged Materials), Co-Chair of CAHP Advocacy Committee Elizabeth Cushing, LPP, MCIP, CAHP (Heritage Planner, HRM) Cynthia Klaassen (Heritage Calgary) Kris Skiba (Dexel) Michael Putman (Dalhousie School of Architecture, SUPRBLK) 📅 Date: Wednesday October 22nd, 7PM-9PM 📍 Location: Auditorium B015, Medjuck Building (5410 Spring Garden Rd), Dalhousie University 💸 Cost: Free to attend — all are welcome! This conversation will connect lessons from Europe with the actions already underway across Canada — linking education, policy, and practice to reimagine how we care for and reuse what’s already built. #BuildingReuse #CircularConstruction #HeritageConservation #SustainableDesign #HouseEurope #Deconstruction #CAHP #NationalTrustCanada #DalhousieArchitecture
