Building context
Victoria House is a Grade II listed Bloomsbury building transformed by Oxford Properties and Pioneer Group into a 300,000 sq ft life-sciences workplace. Laboratories, incubator space, serviced offices and shared amenities accommodate organisations at different stages of growth. That mix creates a building-services brief that must support everyday arrival and communication across a varied occupier community.
Smart technology scope
Digital access and communication for a life-sciences workplace
The published Victoria House Workplace app, developed by Smart Spaces Global Ltd, describes building access, visitor-pass sharing and key building updates in one place. For this setting, the smart-building brief needs clear permissions and service ownership across shared and occupier spaces, while specialist laboratory systems remain subject to their own technical requirements.
- Digital building access for the occupier experience.
- Visitor passes and building information through the workplace app.
- Clear boundaries between shared workplace services and specialist laboratory operations.
Anand’s contribution
Anand secured Smart Spaces’ first appointment with Oxford Properties at Victoria House, positioning the connected workplace service for the London building. His contribution brought the client opportunity and smart-building proposition together in a workplace that combines offices, laboratories and shared amenities.
- Consultative client engagement to establish the Smart Spaces appointment.
- Positioning the proposed connected workplace service for the building.
- Opening Smart Spaces’ first Oxford Properties relationship.
Outcome and next milestone
A connected workplace offer in a new client relationship
Victoria House became Smart Spaces’ first Oxford Properties deployment. The public workplace app now describes access, visitor-pass sharing and building updates, providing a concrete occupier-facing expression of the wider technology proposition.
