Spaces at The Spine is Liverpool’s ultimate destination for world-class events. The venue is housed within the new Royal College of Physicians’ northern home, The Spine, in the heart of Paddington Village, Knowledge Quarter.
The Spine has been designed to be amongst the healthiest buildings in the North West and it incorporates the WELL Building Standard and Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) concepts in its design.
The WELL Building Standard is the premier standard for buildings seeking to implement features that support and advance human health. It consists of 10 concepts – Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Movement, Thermal Comfort, Sound, Materials, Mind and Community – and all these concepts have been incorporated in the venue and its offer to create a happy and healthy environment and optimise the health of visitors and delegates.
An example of this is the venue’s biophilic garden located on Floor twelve, which includes oxygen-producing plants. The Axis, the destination dining space on the top floor of The Spine, boasts unrivalled panoramic views over Liverpool City Centre and the Mersey.
BREEAM measures the environmental performance of buildings. Spaces at The Spine was recently awarded BREEAM Outstanding, the highest sustainable rating attainable in the UK.
Spaces at The Spine is a place for everyone to collaborate and connect, bringing people together in an inclusive events space which celebrates innovation, excellence and culture and optimises the wellbeing of people and the planet.
Spaces at The Spine is an IACC venue and part of the mia. In 2022, the venue won the ‘Venue Sustainability Award’ at the Conference & Events Awards 2022.
