The Spine

Explore RCP at The Spine – a WELL platinum certified building

Interested in finding out more about what it takes to achieve Liverpool’s first WELL platinum rated building?

Join lead architect for The Spine, Rob Hopkins, Director and Head of sustainability at AHR, and Cathy Hardman, workplace manager for the Royal College of Physicians on a tour of The Spine building in the heart of Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter. The tour is a unique opportunity to visit the floors which have been awarded the highest rating possible due to their range of architectural features that promote wellbeing. These include biophilic (planting) strategies such as the installation of natural materials like timber, and abundant indoor plants, daylight optimisation, water filtration, its adjoining wellness cafe, The Base, which centres around healthy and vegan/plant-based food, and more.

The tour will take approximately one hour 30 minutes and you will have the opportunity to ask Rob and Cathy questions throughout.
