Corporate pensions administration and solutions specialists, Capita Hartshead have completed the move of over 450 of its Sheffield-based employees to its new purpose-built, eco-friendly, headquarters. According to local tradition, the building has already acquired a nickname, the Enterprise due to its streamlined contours and Star Trek elliptical roof feature.
Although we are now a UK-wide business, Capita Hartshead started out in Sheffield and we have always had very close links with the city, says Mike Addenbrooke, Capita Hartsheads managing director. There is a real feeling of optimism about our new HQ. As well as excellent staff facilities and plenty of room for growth, the building is in a commanding position and offers a panoramic view of Sheffield and the surrounding hills. We hope that this building will quickly become an iconic symbol of Sheffields continuing re-generation and we very much look forward to welcoming clients and guests to our new offices.
Capita Hartsheads new headquarters has seven storeys plus a basement and its 61,500 sq ft of floor space will accommodate 700 people. The building was designed with the highest possible environmental credentials. It has extra insulation and reduced air permeability to reduce running costs and uses recycled energy from a nearby waste incinerator for heating and cooling. The roof terrace has a sedum green roof to provide additional insulation, absorb rain water and provide a wildlife habitat.
