Abstract
In the Spring 1984 edition of Structural Survey Vol 3, No 1, W. F. Hill's paper on faade Retention Projects covered the initial research, detailed surveys and preliminary design assessments which are necessary when arriving at the preferred method of construction to be adopted for new buildings behind retained faades. This paper follows on from this, covering in detail the structural design and specification aspects, tender invitations and appraisals of the demolition and construction monitoring necessary to ensure faade stability on one particular project. This project, known as 20 Finsbury Circus, involves the construction of 8,250 sq. m of new airconditioned office accommodation and retail units behind the existing Edwardian stone faade of the group of buildings previously known as 15 Broad Street Place, on the northern side of Finsbury Circus in London. The new eightstorey structure will provide for retail units at ground floor, with offices, storage and major plant installations at basement level and offices between the first and sixth floor level and a roof garden.
