To achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals we must embrace environmental engineering, by doing everything we can to minimise human impact from the built environment and protect the natural world..There is growing industry consensus that the way we design, build, operate and dispose of our buildings and associated facilities need a major overhaul.
Our aim must be to obviate waste, increase efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote construction methodologies that support both people and the environment..
In 2018 the UK generated 222.2 million tonnes of waste, with the construction industry responsible for around 30%.. 1.Kirsty Cobden, a member of the Business Development Team who often holds events in the atrium, says she thinks the area’s aspirational, calm atmosphere has a direct effect on patients.

Martin Wood describes the concentration for the design of the hospital as being on efficiency of flow, in a way that ‘owes more to manufacturing processes, owes more to buildings that are directly about efficiency in outcome.’ However, he notes that at Circle this doesn’t compromise the user experience in the least.‘Emphasis on value,’ he says, ‘does not necessarily mean that it precludes the use of interesting architectural form.’ Rather, the opposite.
