Originally opening in 1992, The Bentall Centre is a large shopping centre in Kingston upon Thames, London. Spread over 600,000sq ft of commercial space the five-level shopping centre is home to over 100 different food, leisure, and retail offerings. Attracting over 250,000 visitors on a weekly basis.
M&E works where completed throughout the 600,000sq ft centre. The transformation involved the M&E works associated with two distinct projects involved in the modernisation.
The first of these focused on works within the shopping centre, successfully refurbishing the entrances with new LED lighting which carried forward throughout the mall areas to give a refresher feel. The M&E works included works to new formed mall bridges on ground and first floors as well as newly constructed mall balconies allowing more space and opportunities for pop up shops.
Public toilets and changing facilities where upgraded as part of this project. The second project within this contract involved refurbishment of an existing commercial unit and the formation of a newly constructed unit at roof level to allow for a new 4 Screen Cinema on the roof, including roof top terrace and Sky Bar.
