Facilities

The Hooper Building is a state-of-the-art, eco-friendly building opened in October 2007 and is situated in the heart of Hull City Centre near Queens Gardens. It is within easy distance of the City transport systems and the M62.

As with other design projects undertaken by Goodwin, such as The Octagon, the Trust wanted to provide an exceptional and dedicated working environment. The refurbishment has been completed to a high quality standard and central to this has been the creation of a glass atrium roof that draws natural light into the whole of the building. This feature also plays an integral part to the heating and ventilation of the building to reduce running costs and minimise the carbon footprint of the building.  

Many other features included in the refurbishment have been incorporated to reduce the carbon footprint of The Hooper Building and to make a contribution to energy saving wherever possible. Solar panels provide heating and hot water and photo cell occupancy sensors control the lighting within the office areas to switch off when not occupied. The building is designed to provide maximum accessibility for residents and visitors and whilst meeting all standard building DDA requirements it also has facilities on the ground floor that will meet registration requirements for Hull's 'Changing Places' directory, and will therefore begin to address some of the city centre shortages of such facilities. Local building firm Hobson & Porter were commissioned to carry out the work.
