McLellan Works Occupiers Guide

Bywater Properties' investment has ensured that McLellan Works is once again a loved place, a place for change-makers and entrepreneurs where ideas can form and emerging businesses can be developed.

We firmly believe in inclusivity for all, we do not accept discrimination in any form at McLellan Works and we want this to run through every corner of the building by creating a unified experience and ethos. Workplace diversity brings different perspectives and innovation, and we have created a place where everyone can belong, where they can perform to their full potential no matter their background, identity or circumstances.

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do, and that is expressed in how we have approached the refurbishment of this building, as well as how we intend to operate the building.

At McLellan Works we want to do all we can to work towards achieving Net Carbon Zero and to help our occupiers achieve this in their own activities.

Sustainability has been considered in every detail from the services we procure, to the energy supplied, the way we approach waste and the materials used within the refurbishment. This is true right down to the detail of the furniture within the common parts of the building which has been sourced with the help of C2 Concepts and Rype Office who specialise in remanufacturing furniture preventing it from ending up in landfill, and reduce the embodied carbon of much of the furniture in the building.

To achieve our ambition of delivering a sustainable building which works towards Net Carbon Zero and positively contributes to the local social environment, we need occupiers of the building to embrace this alongside us.

Our formula of a high quality refurbishment with the best quality service-led management of the building, regular communication with all occupiers, and technical expertise should result in a safe, secure and yet bespoke office environment for the future.

We do not accept discrimination in any form at McLellan Works from our tenants or their visitors whether it be racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or any other disrespect and we reserve the right to remove anyone from the building or restrict access to anyone who does not follow this.

At McLellan Works we care about the mental health and wellbeing of people in the building, both our direct employees and your employees based in the building.

We have partnered with a mental health charity who will help us to bring a range of support to our tenants as part of a collaboration that we are currently developing. More information will be shared with tenants during the coming months.

At McLellan Works we encourage the physical wellbeing of our direct employees and those based in the building.

Glasgow is a great city for running, whether it be at lunchtime or as a replacement for the commute to or from McLellan Works. We have 7 showers and changing facilities in our basement for our runners to use.

A selection of great routes to challenge runners of all abilities can be found at – www.glasgowrunningroutes.co.uk/tag/city-centre/

Not only is cycling a great form of exercise but its good for the environment as well. Cycling has the lowest impact on the environment of any means of commuting at 21g CO2e per person per km (walking is estimated at 56g CO2e!). We have provided 5 “pool” bikes in our basement for occupiers to be used on a first come first served basis.

Stacey McLean at reception can help you with access to one if you want to use them.

You will receive a big McLellan Works welcome from the Stacey McLean who leads the LSH reception team at the entrance to the building on Sauchiehall Street.

Visitors will be required to report to the main reception, both for security and also in the event of an emergency, before being directed to Tenants’ premises. Tenants will have their own pass cards for 24/7 access. These can be obtained via reception with 48 hours’ notice.

Let’s start with a brief history of why this iconic building is so important on the Glasgow streetscape. Dating back to 1855, it was built by James Smith and the famous dome and shopfronts were added in 1905 by Frank Burnet, and Sauchiehall Street became the go-to destination in Glasgow. McLellan Works, or Breckenridge House as it was known then, suffered a fire in 1988 which caused the rear to be rebuilt behind the façade. The building has been lovingly restored and refurbished retaining the listed façade to create an incredible next generation workspace for Glasgow’s creatives. Sustainability and wellbeing are at the heart of what we do at McLellan.

When Bywater acquired the building it the office accommodation and the central core areas were tired, dated and in need of a refresh. Alongside main contractor AKP Scotland Ltd and Trident Building Consultancy, and with support from Stallan Brand (Architects), C2 Concepts (Interior Designers) and Graphical House (Graphic Designers), Bywater has completely refurbished the first and third floors of the building and the entire façade.

The internal spaces have been partially stripped back to the original frame of the building and partially refurbished and redecorated with clean lines and open spaces all around. The façade has been repaired and cleaned and new shopfronts installed on the ground floor retail units. The main feature of the building is a brand new entrance that provides a beautiful space for you to welcome visitors in, including a new café.

The building does have excellent public transport connections, and we would strongly recommend all occupiers encourage their staff and visitors to use this as much as possible to minimise carbon emissions in the City, however, there will be times when a car / van is required.

The car park in the basement accessed from Rose Street. Please contact the managing agents if there is a requirement for any spaces which have a height limit on vehicles of 2.05M.

We strongly recommend that the stairs at either wing of McLellan Works are used as much as possible to get the maximum benefit for staff of keeping both their mind and body agile and active.

We do however, also have 2 brand new KONE Monospace 13 person lifts which are available for use, and offer an energy efficient route to move around the building. In the unlikely event of an entrapment the alarm should be sounded in the lift or reception contacted should there be a breakdown.

In addition we have our Occupier portal ("OSP") which can be used for site communication and notifications, and as a portal for important documentation.

The area ‘demised’ or leased to occupiers is usually shown in the lease, and therefore you will be responsible for that area. Demised areas generally includes:

Office area
Internal window
Lighting within the offices
Floor and ceiling voids
Security to that area including all entry doors

These are areas where there are shared services, which the property management team manage.

The first floor kitchenette and lobby area are there to be enjoyed by all occupiers, please mingle, enjoy, chat to someone new, and make use of the facility. Please then leave it looking just as welcoming for the next person.

A service charge budget is produced by LSH as an estimate of the cost of the provision of the shared services for all maintenance and services at McLellan for the year. The budget is produced annually in advance and discussed and shared with all parties before being billed quarterly in advance., The costs are apportioned or split on a floor area basis so that each occupier pays towards those services which they receive the benefit in accordance with their lease. The landlord pays for any costs in relation to the void areas.

The budget is only a forecast of what we think it will cost to provide the services necessary to run the building; the final figure at the end of the budget year could be higher or lower.

At the end of the year, when total costs are known, the accounts are audited and either a credit note issued if the expenditure is under the budgeted sum or a charge is raised if actual expenditure exceeded the budget.

We would love to welcome your pets to McLellan Works however ask that you inform Stacey at reception that they will be on site with you and help us with the following requests.

Please contact LSH for further details as early as possible for guidance. Note that we are looking to ensure that our sustainable approach is adopted by occupiers in their fit-outs, alterations should not reduce the EPC performance of the building, materials should be recycling/reused in any application for alterations.

We encourage all tenants to investigate the use of remanufactured furnishings and fitout when planning their new spaces. Examples of what is available from Rype Office, specialist remanufacturers, can be seen in the Bywater Furniture and Fitout guide which is available on request. We can also introduce you to C2 Concepts who are based in Glasgow and can help you plan your space.
