Sustainable refurbishment specialist Better Green Living has been appointed to refurbish Edgbaston Park Hotel and Conference Centre in Birmingham. Owned by the University of Birmingham, the hotel will benefit from a soft refurbishment to enhance its facilities.
The new business win marks a pivotal moment in Better Green Living’s expansion within the commercial sector. With previous projects including Co-op Live Manchester, the largest indoor entertainment arena in the UK, Better Green Living has firmly established itself as a trusted name in sustainable design and build, retrofitting and refurbishment.
The project will involve the refurbishment of 12 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a staircase and meeting rooms across the venue. The works also include moving and creating a new reception desk and building a new luggage room. The company will lead on all aspects of project management, contractor coordination and on-site delivery to ensure the project runs smoothly and efficiently.
Refurbishment is considered a sustainable practice as it extends the lifecycle of the existing built environment, reducing landfill waste and saving embodied carbon, the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a material.
Deborah Parsons, CEO & Sustainability & Outreach Director at Better Green Living, commented: “Refurbishment is an inherently sustainable approach to property development, as it improves existing spaces, rather than building from the ground up. This aligns with Better Green Living’s values as a zero waste to landfill company. Our method for refurbishment focuses on delivering high-quality updates that meet modern standards, while reusing materials wherever possible. We hope our work at Edgbaston Park Hotel will give the building a new lease of life, ready to receive guests at the start of August.”
Julie Crump, Director of Operations at Edgbaston Park Hotel, commented: “Edgbaston Park Hotel receives guests for every occasion, from relaxing breaks and conferences to weddings. By upgrading some of our rooms to a stylish, modern standard, we ensure that our guests enjoy the best possible experience during their stay with us. The reconfiguration of the foyer to accommodate the new reception desk means that the hotel is a better fit for purpose, while providing brand-new luggage rooms enables us to accommodate all our guests comfortably.”
