The new HS2 station, to be built near Solihull and the NEC in the West Midlands, has become the first railway station globally to achieve the BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ certification – a measure of sustainability for new and refurbished buildings – putting it in the top 1% of buildings in the UK for eco-friendly credentials.
Preparatory work has almost been completed and now major structures are being put in place on the site of Interchange station. Once finished it will be a public transport gateway serving the Midlands, close to Birmingham International station, the NEC and Birmingham Airport.
