Chineham Park Creates Outdoor Rooms

Chineham Park, Basingstoke's leading business location, has created outdoor rooms as part of its natural place to work campaign.

Rupert Batho, managing director for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “From the results of our occupier survey last year, we identified a request for more benches around the park. We have developed this into our outdoor room’s concept, which provides prominent seating in locations which show off some of the park’s best features.

“As part of our role to provide our occupiers with the facilities they need and want for a comfortable working environment we have launched the outdoor rooms this spring with the hope of warmer weather giving all park occupiers the opportunity to spend some of their working day in our natural landscape.”

The outdoor rooms have been positioned around the park to encourage employees to sit outside to admire the view and enjoy the environment.

Chineham Park’s 95 acres is home to a wide variety of abundant wildlife. Occupier John Evemy, maintenance engineer for Arjo Wiggins Fine Papers Ltd, said: “I enjoy working on Chineham Park because it is like working in the countryside. When I go for a walk at lunchtime I see lots of wildlife including deer, woodpeckers and pheasants and it is like a breath of fresh air working within these surroundings.”
