One Blythe Gate project was a “Fit Out” project for a Blue Chip company that required a high degree of technology to be built in.
- LED Lighting
- Heat Recovery Systems
- TREND BMS system
- Wireless LUTRON lighting controls
- Vehicle Charging Stations
One Blythe Gate is a 3 storey, ground, first and second floors, business park office building. The existing Building is fed from an existing (WPD) sub-station located adjacent to the building.
The intent of the refurbishment is to replace the existing M&E services, to return the building to an open plan Category A office layout, reconfigure the toilet cores and to update the entrance/reception.

Expansion of the school’s pupil capacity from 600 to 840 required an extension and new catering facilities. With a high degree of refurbishment also required time scales where always going to be a challenge.
The school’s capacity has been increased from 600 pupils between the ages of 11 and 16 to allow provision for 840 boys. Works comprised of the construction of a new kitchen and new extension block.
These works were complimented by a series of minor works within the existing buildings (refurbished WC’s, new ramp (between ground & upper ground), first floor refurbished teaching and support space & refurbished art room). The design of the extension is three-storey’s high, steel frame construction with brick at ground floor and metal cladding at upper floors. Internally, the extension consists of 7 no. classrooms (including science laboratories, ICT classrooms, music and food technology rooms) with adjacent learning/storage spaces, common resource areas and staff/admin offices.

We have successfully delivered the mechanical and electrical infrastructure in several schools for Milton Keynes Council.
Each school has been designed to high standards and while different in their operational requirements they all excel with the use of renewable technologies which include air source heat pumps as a primary heat source; LED lighting with organic response controls; solar PV panels.

Leamington Spa Guide dogs Charity
The Guide Dogs Training School at Leamington Spa started in 1941 and today trains 220 dogs a year.
With such a high demand, training space on the site was at a premium so when attention turned to converting the draughty old garage into a dedicated training centre, ORBS didn’t hesitate to offer a solution.
Along with our supply chain partners and Willmott Dixon ORBS provided new electrical and mechanical services including lighting, fire alarm and heating. The result is a multi-use training centre we are all proud of.
