The Al-Qasimi Building For Applied Research on Emerging Global Challenges Proposed Project Team 8 March 2023 Rev-01 DRAFT www.designengine.co.uk

Introduction The following document briefing outlines a proposed design team structure and procurement route for the design services of the new Al-Qasimi building. It includes the following: • Proposed Team, organogram • Profiles of key team members • Appointment and framework options • Project pages of current collaborations between the Design Engine and Arup The proposed team for the new Al-Qasimi building draws on Design Engine and Arup’s established and successful working relationship. We are currently working together on major projects for Winchester College and Gordon Murray Design, both of which are under construction. Brief project pages are included at the end of this document. We have provided a proposed organogram of the potential team structure and have put forward key individuals we believe are best qualified for the scale and complexity of the Al-Qasimi building. As Architecture and Engineering Leads, Peter Blundy and Emily Duncombe’s roles will be particular important on the Al-Qasimi building where the architectural ambition will need to dovetail with environmental, structural and whole life carbon aspects of the design. A summary of the proposed procurement vehicle for the full design team service in included in the appointment section. Concept Visualisation of the new Al-Qasimi Building

Current Collaborations - Winchester College Southern Campus + Summary • Location - Winchester Hampshire • Client - Winchester College • New Build Floor area - 10,500 M2 • Phase 1 Contract value - £29,500,000 • Contract - Traditional • BREEAM Target - Very Good Project Summary Winchester College’s current indoor sports centre located on its Southern Campus dates from the 1960s and is no longer capable of supporting the range or quality of spaces required to deliver the College’s sporting programme. The College launched an invited competition to masterplan the whole of the Southern Campus which Design Engine won in 2015. The task was to not only to create a phased development strategy for a new sports facility to ensure that existing sports facilities could continue during replacement works, but also to address a number of other capital project requirements within a single holistic masterplan solution. This included a new sanatorium, design and technology centre, support services building, works department and masters houses. The site is in a Conservation Area and is a particularly sensitive part of Winchester, given the proximity of the Itchen Valley, so a key consideration has been the physical impact of the large-volume buildings such as the sports hall, whilst ensuring that architecturally the buildings are sensitive to their remaining neighbours. Full planning permission was achieved in 2017 and works started on site September 2018. Complex under construction, left
