Lendlease sought to implement a state-of-the-art digital communication platform for the Turing Building, a flagship development within Stratford Cross, East London. The primary goal was to provide tenants and visitors with real-time, consistent access to information, enhancing their overall experience while complementing the building’s contemporary design.
To achieve this, ECN delivered a tailored digital signage solution that included:
– 55” End-of-Journey Screen in the bike store to enhance wayfinding and tenant communications.
– 65” Digital Tenant Directory in the reception area, ensuring clear navigation and corporate branding opportunities.
– 75” Digital Communication Screen in the lift lobby, seamlessly integrated into the architectural design.
Challenges & Solutions
Late Engagement
ECN joined the project late in the construction phase, significantly reducing the usual lead time for planning, coordination, and installation.
Through efficient project management and proactive collaboration with Lendlease and onsite contractors, ECN successfully navigated the compressed timeline without compromising quality.
Custom Design Integration
The 75” lift lobby screen required precise recessed installation into a custom-built feature wall. This meant working closely with the design team and joinery contractors to ensure a flawless, built-in aesthetic.
Through detailed technical coordination, ECN ensured the screen aligned seamlessly with the surrounding architectural elements.
Logistical Constraints
The lift lobby’s high ceilings meant all cabling and infrastructure had to be installed at elevated levels, requiring specialist equipment such as scissor lifts and strict safety measures during installation.
ECN’s team implemented a structured installation plan, ensuring all work was carried out efficiently and safely without disrupting the broader construction schedule.
