Global firm Stantec launches new office in ‘iconic’ Manchester city centre building

Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, is moving into its new Manchester home at 100 Barbirolli Square in the city centre.

Stantec has more than 28,000 employees worldwide and will be taking over the seventh floor of the ‘iconic’ building near Bridgewater Hall in March 2024. The Company is expanding rapidly in the UK and Ireland and selected the space due to its flexibility to accommodate future growth.

As the firm continues to grow its headcount and expand its offering, 100 Barbirolli will combine staff from its two existing offices at Oxford Street and Bridge Street and be used as a hub to service clients in the North West and elsewhere.

Stantec has been ranked as one of the most sustainable companies in the world and provides a range of interdisciplinary consultancy services across the built environment to create sustainable, prosperous, and equitable communities.

Its new Manchester office will see engineers, planners, economists, ecologists, acousticians, designers, and others unite in the city centre. In the North West the company supports housebuilders, developers, operators, and landowners in boosting the provision of new homes and jobs, improving wellbeing, transforming mobility, and spearheading regeneration.

The firm also partners with local authorities and other public sector clients including Homes England. Stantec works closely with United Utilities in future proofing and increasing the resilience of its water networks.

The new Manchester office is expected to host a growing number of water services team members as the company quickly strengthens its offering for the UK water sector.

Stantec’s Manchester home has been designed with wellbeing, inclusion, and collaboration in mind. The refurbished workplace features co-working environments including zones for social activity, team building exercises, and general wellbeing. There will also be a number of creative areas for teams and clients to make use of.

Cath Schefer, Stantec’s Global Chief Operating Officer, commented: “With so many incredible projects in the pipeline, we need to ensure we attract the best talent across a variety of important disciplines.

“We know the next generation of engineers and designers prioritise wellbeing and inclusivity, while having a dynamic, flexible workplace. Our new Manchester office will be a lively and aspirational hub right in the city centre.”
