NORTHSIDE PHYSICAL SERVICING STRATEGY<br />
One of the great challenges of <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> is that it has no ‘back’. The entire site perimeter<br />
is public and, whilst this offers an extraordinary opportunity in terms of public engagement, it<br />
unavoidably complicates the requirement for discreet and efficient physical servicing<br />
Currently, this is proposed to occur within the south-east corner of the Northside building.<br />
Considerable advancements in this strategy have occurred in the creation of a Contractor’s Mess<br />
Room, Service Lift and <strong>St</strong>air, but the issue of street-level bins, deliveries, and vehicular movement<br />
remains challenging, particularly in terms of the potential interaction with the Processional Way<br />
In consultation with the <strong>Project</strong> Board, it has been concluded that this remains the only viable<br />
location for physical servicing, but the strategy must be revisited during <strong>RIBA</strong> 3, with the aim of<br />
making servicing more discreet and, ideally, fully-concealed from the public realm<br />
