Herman Miller’s new manufacturing
and distribution facility, known as PortalMill, was officially opened by Sir
Nicholas Grimshaw on Tuesday 17 November 2015.
The project was concept
designed by Grimshaw Architects, with input from Stephen George & Partners,
at the briefing stage to provide guidance on the industry standards and
parameters for the building. Stephen George & Partners were then
commissioned to deliver the project with First Industrial as Development
Managers and Winvic Construction as the Main Contractor.
The scheme required
significant value engineering post tender to bring the project within budget but
the potency of the original concept has been maintained without detriment.
Brian Walker, CEO of
Herman Miller and other senior figures from Herman Miller were also invited to
the opening, and feedback was extremely positive.
