−	The store employs nearly 500 people of which approximately 400 were new positions. Over 50 positions were allocated through the Marks & Start scheme, which is a work experience programme for the homeless, disabled, lone parents and young unemployed. 350 of the new employees were from the local area. M&S also contributed £1m to a local town centre remodelling improvement fund and to the design of a children’s play area just 1km from the store. Educational site visits by Salford & Chester Universities, West Cheshire College and local primaries were conducted throughout the project with a total of over 100 hours of guided walks held in the 20 month build. The project team used a website, social media pages and newsletters to keep the community informed and achieved a Considerate Constructors Scheme score of 38 out of 40, along with a Gold National Site Award in recognition of their efforts.	+	The store employs nearly 500 people of which approximately 400 were new positions.

A one year Construction BTEC project was held with a local college incorporating design, presentation, business and cost planning skills which culminated in a live final where students competed for a prize of 3 iPads. Undergraduates and researchers from a number of universities and special interest groups such as BuildOffsite had tours during construction with the site also opened up to local community groups throughout the project.	+	A total of 200 hours was volunteered to community events in ‘brawn’ and ‘brain’ over the two year programme with two locals schools benefiting from a wide range of experiences including making biodiversity habitats, meeting newts under the care of the site ecologist, and waste segregation management.

	The store is designed to maximise the use of natural light with North lights and clerestory glazing complimented by a fully dimmable DALI lighting to the sales floor and integrated daylight control. An extensive displacement ventilation system which facilitates free cool air handling is woven into the steel and glulam hybrid frame with 6ft diameter earth tubes carrying partially cooled or heated outside air under the building and feeding it in around the main structural members. Passive design measures were incorporated by the architects wherever possible, including the maximisation of solar gains from the South and East elevation controlled by cedar brise soleil and a natural insulation bund constructed from surplus soils and clays. Hemp wall panels with 400mm thick hemcrete insulation and recycled glass wool in the roof construction also help to regulate the stores internal temperature.

	The store includes a living wall system on one elevation of the 958 space car park, acting as a pollution filter and biodiversity habitat. 9 swift boxes on the building and a further 6 bird boxes in perimeter hedgerows and trees provide habitat for local species and bat and bird boxes were also installed in the community using recycled untreated timber sourced from FSC certified formwork off cuts collected on site. 229 new trees and enhanced existing hedgerows were planted including nationally endangered and significant species such as Oak and Black Poplar. 12,000m2 of planting and an enhanced Sustainable Urban Drainage System with an attenuation pond designed to attract wildlife were constructed on site including gabion walls, insect boxes and log piles.
