Keeping pace with technology trends is an important consideration for businesses. Thankfully one of the benefits of choosing modern office space means the opportunity to take advantage of continuous investment in the technology infrastructure.
At The Blade we’ve always been keen to ensure that we stay on point with new technology adaptation. With some of our occupiers leading the way in new tech trends, it’s an important consideration that we continue to offer a space which embraces cutting edge technology. Some of the ways in which we’ve introduced new tech into our space includes:
Fully connected offices – The Blade has held a 5* telecoms certification (from ewave) since 2021, ensuring high‑quality, future‑ready connectivity, ideal for virtual meetings, cloud services and hybrid working.
High tech design – as well as its ground-breaking design, The Blade’s construction incorporates innovative building practices including rainscreen panels which create a ventilated and drained cavity behind the outer layer of the building. This cavity helps to protect the building from water damage and improve energy efficiency.
Energy efficiency – with LED lighting, smart HVAC systems (monitored bi‑weekly), a new central BMS system and green energy procurement, The Blade holds BREEAM “Very Good” and EPC B sustainability ratings, reflecting efficient energy use and eco‑design.
On-site electric vehicle charging – our EV charging points with app-based access encourage low-emission commuting.
Onsite security and maintenance – managed by our on‑site staff who use the latest digital tools for proactive responses.
Making life easier – our iPad-controlled coffee machine has been a big hit allowing occupiers, and their guests, to personalise their coffee experience at the touch of a button!
The Blade isn’t just a landmark. By embracing the latest tech trends we’re helping ensure it’s a forward‑looking, tech-savvy space designed for today’s digital, sustainable workplace. With high spec telecoms and energy systems, smart amenities and green credentials, The Blade offers so much more than just modern office space.
