Crescent Community Centre
Reading, United Kingdom
The Crescent Community Resource Centre was concieved as a local landmark. It is located within a large housing estate in Early, Reading, an area which previously
lacked any community facilities. The building has become a focal point for local community groups to hold meetings, run courses and hold events. The centre incorporates a range of office and meeting rooms, a large hall, and an informal area used as a café and exhibition space. Jessop and Cook were appointed to act as architects after being recommended to the Crescent Community Association by a previous client. Following extensive
consultation with user groups, a voluntary partnering agreement was set up between the client, contractor and design consultants. A good collaborative working
relationship between all parties was established, and this allowed us to work together to achieve a high quality
building which also represented very good value for money. The project also benefited from the BRE Energy Design Advice Scheme, which helped us to produce an environmentally sensitive scheme which is appropriate for the greenfield site. Energy efficiency and reduced running
costs are achieved by using natural ventilation, high levels of insulation and low energy lighting. A rainwater
harvesting system is used to provide water to flush toilets. Designing for low
