The upgrading of the Environment Building involves 11 office floors, the VIP floor, public areas at the podium, the theatrette and its new Customer Service Centre. The refurbishment of the interiors of the Minister’s and Minister-of-State’s offices at the VIP floor enhances their contemporary appearance. The area outside these offices has been expanded and re-configured to include a courtesy call room. The cafeteria has been given a more vibrant feel while complying with space efficiency requirements. The increase in the capacity of the new theatrette allows it to cater to wider needs and its new design, which includes a stepped conical suspended ceiling, provides better acoustics.
As the Environment Building is home to the Ministry that promotes environmental friendlines, it is only apt that recycled materials were used for its carpets, ceilings and fabrics for wall coverings and roller blinds as well as energy-efficient light fittings and chillers were incorporated in its renovation. Other energy saving measures include the linking of light fittings to motion sensors for adaptive means of on/off switching when meeting rooms and toilets are not in use, and auto-sensor/self-closing taps in toilets.
