Location, Location, Location

The state-of-the-art DLA Piper office is designed to the highest environmental standards. Every aspect of the building has been carefully considered to reduce environmental impacts and improve the wellbeing of occupants, from minimising waste during the construction phase to furniture selection and acoustic design.

The building features innovative design elements to help reduce its carbon footprint such as maximising daylight through floor to ceiling glazing to limit the use of artificial lighting.

Data Collection: We have a barcode scanning process in place for this event, all visitors will have a barcode on their badge, this barcode will be used by the exhibitors at the event to scan the visitors badge and receive the visitors data post event. This system reduces time to collect data and is paperless.

If you do not want to share your data, please don’t allow exhibitors to scan your barcode.

Fire

P&W staff will be present and in the event of an evacuation will guide all visitors to the fire exits and evacuation point. The following should be communicated to all external attendees where possible.

There is a public address system installed throughout 2 Chamberlain Square and there is a phased evacuation plan in place. In the event of a fire or the alarm being activated please evacuate the building as instructed over the public address system.

On hearing the alarm, you should ensure:

That you listen to the emergency announcement message. 2 Chamberlain Square has a phased evacuation system and some floors will not be required to evacuate immediately.

That all personnel, including visitors and contractors, leave immediately via the 2 main fire exits when told to do so by the fire announcement system.

That the lifts are not used.

Meet at our fire evacuation point which is at Congreve Passage (at the corner of Dishoom restaurant).

2 x P&W staff will be on hand to direct everyone to the fire exits. They will also be in contact with the building security team if there is an evacuation. Once deemed safe they will organise the return to the building.
