Zeal Hotels held a topping-out ceremony for voco Zeal Exeter Science Park.
The four-star, 142-bedroom hotel, constructed with half the embodied carbon of a standard hotel, will generate 100 per cent of electricity consumed via the photo voltaic roof and wall panels, positioning it firmly in line with the 2050 Paris Agreement requirements and exceeding 2030 targets.
The building, which achieved the BREEAM Outstanding rating at the design stage, is currently on schedule to complete in December this year, with official opening planned for January 2025.
As a fully sustainable operation, produce will be sourced locally or grown on site, it will stimulate economic growth through job creation and investment and attract the environmentally conscious to the city.
