A stunning rural setting with woodland, wildlife walks and an abundance of outdoor space, Lakeside lets occupiers experience nature, providing an added extra for all and helps to support mental health and wellbeing.

An inspiring and relaxing environment for businesses to call home, the campus surroundings are unique, comprising 130 acres of meticulously maintained rural surroundings, including a large lake and pockets of rugged woodland.

Occupiers and employees are encouraged to make use of the grounds, creating unique working and meeting environments to foster creativity – whether that’s taking advantage of the outdoor meeting room that overlooks the beautiful lake, or even holding brainstorms and meetings while taking a team walk.

When it comes to green and sustainable initiatives, Lakeside is always driving its objectives forward.

Brand new initiative

One of Lakeside’s newest projects is the launch of a wildlife project and bird viewing area which saw the campus team up with Visitor Chat, an award-winning company that offers live chat services, which is also headquartered at Lakeside. The aim of the scheme is to further enhance the ecology, biodiversity and environmental aims of the campus.

Working with the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust and the RSPB to start the project, the aim is to protect birds on the campus and provide new habitats for them.

A mix of bird boxes were created including standard boxes for Blue Tits and Great Tits, open fronted boxes for Robins and Wrens, Starling boxes to be used by Starlings, Woodpeckers and Nuthatches, and Sparrow Terraces, along with bird feeding stations and a new bird viewing area.

Sustainable travel
Bus Shuttle

Lakeside is dedicated to making it easier to travel to work actively and sustainability, as well as providing free-to-use green transport and convenient facilities, including EV charging stations, e-scooters and e-bikes, to support employees and occupiers to make sustainable commuting choices.

The green and free shuttle bus service is just one of the initiatives Lakeside has taken to offer even more value to our occupiers – supporting the Lakeside community to save on costs and reduce carbon emissions.

Renewable energy

Portsmouth City Council, owners of Lakeside North Harbour, have announced plans to install a large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage system at the campus.

The ground-breaking project will include roof-mounted solar PV arrays across five buildings and one of the largest solar parking canopy arrays in the UK with a large battery storage system.

The solar generation and battery storage initiative is set to save 992 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being emitted each year, benefitting both the planet and the health of the local community.

Alongside this ground-breaking project, Lakeside has introduced a number of other sustainability measures and initiatives, including 100 per cent green electricity supply, 95 per cent of general waste is processed for energy producing electricity and 13 electric vehicle charging stations onsite.
