Rooms with a view at new MediaCityUK offices

MediaCityUK has unveiled refurbished office space in the 16-storey White Tower, completely refitted by Consensus Workspace.

The 12,000 sq ft area within MediaCityUK’s newly-expanded ‘Arrive’ managed workspace for creative, digital and technology businesses, boasts stunning views across Salford, Manchester and beyond.

Andy Plastow, managing director at Consensus, said: “Working alongside Jefferey Bell Architects to complete the works and sticking to the design brief, we were able to complete the high-quality fit-out based on the design specifications in 16 weeks.”

The completed office space allows for changes necessitated by COVID, but will still work long-term if and when rules are relaxed.

This has involved Consensus using specific materials and creating bespoke booths for private meetings and calls, building safe social spaces and meeting rooms, as well as large open plan areas that make the most of the views.

Chris Reay, MediaCityUK property director, said: “We’ve worked with Consensus on a number of projects now and they always complete before deadline, within budget and to the highest specification.

“As the UK workforce is adapting its approach to office life, the brief was very much to create a welcoming, modern place of work that provides a safe and socially responsible environment.

“White Tower is in the heart of MediaCityUK and we’re delighted to be welcoming new tenants to this new, refreshed space.”
