Network Rail Property has officially submitted plans for a major redevelopment of London Liverpool Street station – a £1 billion transformation set to futureproof the UK’s busiest transport hub and turn it into a destination in its own right. The ambitious proposals will see the station expanded to accommodate more than 200 million passengers annually, with improvements aimed at boosting capacity, accessibility, and the overall experience for commuters and visitors alike. Currently serving around 118 million people each year, Liverpool Street is expected to see this figure soar to 158 million by 2041, prompting the need for significant investment. To fund the development, Network Rail is working with private sector partners, with much of the cost covered through the construction of new office space above the station – pushing the total value of the scheme beyond £1bn. The revitalised station will offer more than just improved travel links. New retail outlets, leisure spaces, and flexible workspaces are planned, positioning Liverpool Street as a central London hub not just for transport, but for lifestyle and business too. Key features of the redevelopment include: Robin Dobson, Property Director at Network Rail, said:“Investing in transport infrastructure is vital for unlocking future economic growth in London and beyond. This scheme will ensure Liverpool Street remains a landmark gateway to the capital for generations to come.“Our plans put passengers first, while carefully preserving the station’s historic Victorian features – including the iconic trainshed and the Great Eastern Hotel.” Architectural firm Acme, led by founding director Friedrich Ludewig, has designed the redevelopment. He added:“Liverpool Street is one of London’s great Victorian stations. Our vision is to enhance its accessibility and celebrate its legacy while creating modern, sustainable workspaces and improved passenger flow.“We’ve embraced the challenge of designing new entrances and roof structures that honour the original 1875 design and its 1990s extension. This will be a world-class transport hub fit for the future of the City.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
The University of Warwick has appointed Kier as the lead contractor for the first phase of its ambitious £700 million STEM Connect programme – a landmark development set to reshape the university’s science and engineering landscape. As part of its long-term strategy to expand teaching and research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the university is investing heavily in state-of-the-art facilities, including a £425 million Science and Engineering Precinct at the heart of its campus. Kier has been named preferred contractor for the opening phase of the programme, with construction expected to begin later this year following the completion of enabling works. Leading the design is BDP, acting as both lead consultant and principal designer. Professor Stuart Croft, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Warwick, hailed the announcement as a significant milestone:“Appointing a contractor for Phase 1 of the STEM Connect Programme marks a major step forward in what is a transformative journey – and fittingly, it comes in our 60th anniversary year.“This initiative will not only enhance learning for our students, but also reinforce our global standing in STEM disciplines. We’re proud to be partnering with Kier – one of the UK’s top contractors – to realise this bold vision.” Mark Dady, Managing Director of Kier Construction Eastern & Midlands, added:“We’re delighted to be delivering the first phase of this forward-thinking project. Drawing on our expertise in creating world-class educational spaces, we aim to build a facility that fosters innovation, collaboration, and sustainability at the University of Warwick.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

London-based commercial waste management provider, Enviro Waste Management, has embarked on a strategic rebrand to reinforce its commitment to enhancing operational efficiency while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. Moving away from its previous focus on domestic and construction waste, the company is now solely dedicated to serving businesses, positioning itself as a one-stop waste solution in commercial waste management. The revamped brand identity includes a modern yet user friendly website and refreshed tone of voice on all online channels of communication. Additionally, Enviro Waste Management will also undertake a phase by phase revamp of offline assets such as uniforms, trucks, sacks, and more. This shift also brings expanded service offerings, including bins and sacks collections introduced last year which includes overnight collection service. More than just collecting waste, the company ensures materials are repurposed when possible, properly sorted at its waste yard, and disposed of in the most sustainable way. Eli Kushmaro, CEO and Founder of Enviro Waste Management said: “Our core values have always been about helping businesses operate more efficiently while reducing their environmental footprint. While our brand is built on reliability and robust customer support, with this rebrand, we’re not only sharpening our focus on commercial waste but also expanding our service portfolio to truly become the ultimate partner for businesses.” The new logo embodies this transformation with a bold blue design and a distinct brown ‘I’ at its centre, symbolising the customer at the heart of the company’s operations. The deliberate shift away from the industry-standard green, Enviro Waste Management has adopted a bold brown and blue theme, brown symbolising warmth and reliability, while blue reinforces professionalism and trust.
