Building and facilities information

6

The Nova basement, accessed from the main ramp located at street level on Bressenden Place has been designed to accommodate the majority of back of house functions and is shared between all three buildings within the site boundary. The main ramp accommodates delivery vehicles and private cars.

Basement -2 provides access to the loading bay offering a facility for deliveries to all office, retail and

residential occupiers. There are accessible car parking spaces for The Nova Building, various plant rooms; the Energy Centre and the UKPN substations that serve the buildings. Other operational functions such as the post room, loading bay, pass and permit offices are located on this level.

Waste removal is managed from the loading bay with compactors located adjacent to waste stores/holding areas.

Cycle parking with adjacent shower and locker facilities are located within Basement -1 (female showers and lockers) and Basement -2 (male showers and lockers).

Basement -4 provides car parking facilities for Nova North occupiers, engineering offices and plant rooms for the various building operation functions. Residential parking for The Nova Building is located on basement -3.

Fire procedures

If you discover a fire: Alert others by shouting FIRE and immediately operate the nearest call point by pressing the perspex glass Alert security immediately (Security are responsible for notifying the Fire Service) Only attempt to extinguish the fire, using the provided appliances, if you are competent and trained to do so and it is safe (please refer to your company policy on fighting fires)

DO NOT TAKE PERSONAL RISKS

On hearing the fire alarm: Leave the building immediately, using the nearest, safe exit.

— USE THE NEAREST AVAILABLE FIRE EXIT

— DO NOT USE THE LIFTS

— DO NOT STOP TO COLLECT PERSONAL BELONGINGS

— DO NOT RETURN TO YOUR PLACE OF WORK

Please note we operate on a dispersal policy, please report to your fire marshal. Your fire marshal will confirm with you when it is safe to return to the building

— DO NOT RE-ENTER THE BUILDING UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO

Note:

If there is time and it is safe to do so: Close all doors on your way out Switch off all electrical equipment

Nova North operates on a dispersal policy only. So that you are safe from any potential danger, and rather than create a large gathering close to the office, it is now recommended that people disperse until the threat has passed. It is expected of each customer’s Head Fire Marshal to report their floor(s) all clear to the Incident Control Officer (ICO) and wait at the dispersal point (at least 400m safe distance from the building) until the all clear is given. It will then be the responsibility of the company (via whatever multi-address system they use) to inform their staff that they can return to the building.

In some instances, a customer may choose for their staff not to disperse, in which case a designated muster point is used. At least one Fire Marshal should wait with the ICO to pass on the all clear message.

Fire Alarm Testing

Weekly audibility tests will be carried out at 10:30AM on Tuesday mornings.

It is the customers’ responsibility to ensure that the statutory testing of occupier installed fire alarm systems within their demise is carried out in line with current legislation and relevant British Standards. Prior to testing of any fire alarm please liaise with the Workplace Team to ensure correct procedures are in place for isolating the system.

Facilities for Persons with Limited Mobility

The building and estate have been designed to ensure that the access requirements for persons with limited mobility are considered. All occupiers are asked to advise the Workplace and Security Team of the number of employees with limited access and PEEPS (Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans) are to be supplied to the security control room for use in emergencies. We ask you to keep the workplace team informed of any access problems which they encounter so the appropriate remedial measures can be considered.

8

Emergency procedure

Nova North follows a phased evacuation regime. On the office levels the system will operate what is known as a ‘double knock’ operation, whereby activation of a single detector will send an alert to the fire alarm panel, prompting the security team to investigate. There is an investigation period of four minutes. A ‘double knock’ will be due to:

Two smoke detectors activating; or

A single heat detector activating; or

A single sprinkler head activating; or

A manual call point being activated; or

The investigation period timing out without the alarm being cancelled; or

The alarm being manually confirmed by the Seek & Search Security Officer during the investigation period

Knowledge Base

This handbook contains information specific to this building only. For non-sitespecific general information, please see the Knowledge Base section of the Landsec AspireAssist portal.

assist.landseclink.com

On activation of an alarm on any one level, that level will be put into alarm with the rest of the building put into alert i.e. a signal will sound and an automated voice announcement will instruct staff to stand by alerting customers to the presence of a fire on another floor but directing them not to evacuate until told to do so. The evacuation sequence of the subsequent floors after the first phase will be carried out two floors at a time. The evacuation sequencing is automatic and will cascade up the building away

from the fire floor (two floors at a time) to the top of the building and then down the building (two floors at a time) to level 2.

Please Note: those occupying more than one floor with an internal staircase are managed as one single floor.

The ground floor lobby area will also be evacuated in the first phase. Detection of fire within the basement levels will not cause an alert or alarm signal to be sounded automatically in all areas of the building. Should there be a need to evacuate these areas due to a fire in the basement, this will be initiated manually by the management team in the fire control centre or automatically if smoke spreads into relevant areas or is detected above ground. It is also worth noting that the retail units are covered under a separate fire strategy. The evacuation process is co-ordinated by the Security Team. Occupiers are responsible for the evacuation of staff and visitors within their demise, this includes mobility impaired persons. Fire Marshalls are to report to the Security Incident Controller at the designated muster point to confirm that their floor is clear.

In the case of an emergency the lifts will be grounded, with the exception of fire lifts, which will be under control of the Seek & Search Security Officer.
