2 About the Eco Hub The Eco Hub in Gamlingay is acknowledged as the most energy efficient community building in the East. Our award winning building opened in March 2012 and is a warm and welcoming community and business centre containing a range of affordable, spaces for both business and leisure hire. Within easy reach of the A1, A14 and M11 and the mainline stations at Sandy and Biggleswade, the Eco Hub is convenient for London, Cambridge and Bedford. It has meeting facilities with flexible spaces according to your requirements and is fully staffed from 9am to 5pm daily. A wide range of services are available along with free wi-fi, free car parking and full disabled access; all that you would expect from this modern, affordable venue. We held a recent company meeting at the newly built Kier Suite and found the facilities to be more than adequate for our needs. Staff are welcoming and on hand to offer assistance, providing our needs for the afternoon were always met. CSA Environmental All energy from renewable sources

3 A great place to do business The Eco Hub has flexible business facilities ideal for meetings, conferences and training courses. All rooms have high ceilings, large windows and good lighting. The Kier Suite is a self contained space that has been purpose built for meetings and conferences. It has its own entrance, kitchenette and toilet and can be closed off from the main hall for additional privacy. Our friendly staff can provide refreshments and freshly made buffet lunches for all day meetings. We have used the Eco Hub many times and have found that from enquiry and booking to the end of the event the team have been helpful, flexible and very accommodating, no task is ever too much for them. The event space is fantastic and both the refreshments and lunch are always excellent with plenty of choice. Thank you Eco Hub team. Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB)

5 Why is the Eco Hub green? The multi-award winning Eco Hub is very special because it is both environmentally sustainable and economical to run. We have no gas or oil supply so generate energy from renewable sources. The Hub runs on three main technologies; the ground source heating system which extracts heat from the ground; the solar thermal panels which uses heat from the sun; and the photovoltaic cells on the roof which generate electricity. The Hub collects rain water to flush the loos and captures the maximum amount of natural light via light catchers, sun pipes and roof lights as well as large windows which provide light and ventilation. Low utility bills mean that most of the money the Eco Hub earns can be used to run the building for the benefit of the community. It was built using local contractors and materials (many recycled) and the staff and trustees are all local to Gamlingay.
