Challenge
ExceL London, a leading international exhibition and convention centre, sought to expand its facilities to meet growing demand and maintain its competitive edge in the global events market. The challenge was to design and deliver a 25,000m² extension that seamlessly integrated with the existing structure, provided state-of-the-art amenities, and adhered to stringent sustainability standards—all while ensuring the venue remained operational during construction.
Solution
G&T is providing Cost Management, Project Management, and Employer's Agent services for ExceL London's expansion project. Collaborating closely with ExceL London and the design team, we oversee the planning and execution of the extension, which will include additional ICC convention facilities, exhibition halls, conference rooms, and spacious reception areas with views over the Royal Docks. The project incorporates sustainable features such as electric-powered air source heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, and rainwater harvesting systems, targeting a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating.
Outcome
Upon completion, the expanded ExceL London will offer a total of 125,000m² of versatile event space, reinforcing its status as Europe's largest fully integrated conference and exhibition venue. The development is set to enhance London's appeal as a top destination for international events, contributing significantly to the local economy. G&T's comprehensive management services have been instrumental in delivering a world-class facility that aligns with contemporary sustainability goals and meets the evolving needs of the events industry.
