ITV required a dedicated camera store designed to safeguard high-value production equipment while improving operational efficiency within its Trafford Wharf site. The facility needed to accommodate secure storage, flexible workspace, and staff amenities, all delivered within a compact footprint. Fire safety, accessibility, and integration with studio-wide security and M&E systems were essential requirements.
To meet sustainability objectives, the building fabric had to provide excellent thermal efficiency, low energy demand, and durable finishes with minimal maintenance. Crucially, the project had to be delivered quickly and safely within the constraints of a live broadcast environment, where disruption to studio operations had to be kept to an absolute minimum
