The UK Exam Board has moved to a zero carbon ready office in Coventry

ONE OF THE UK’S exam boards, OCR, is moving its headquarters to Coventry, into a zero-carbon-ready office.

IM Properties’ move to the Bourn Building marks a step towards reducing OCR’s environmental footprint and provides an environment for sustainable growth and operational efficiency.

OCR, the exam board of Cambridge University Press and Assessment currently employs around 230 people in Coventry.

Jill Duffy, Chief Executive of OCR, said: “Coventry has been an integral part of OCR’s success from the very beginning and our new office is a commitment to a long and sustainable future here.

“Our priority is to deliver to schools and students across the country, and these offices give us the modern environment to do that as efficiently as possible, while significantly reducing our carbon footprint and enabling modern hybrid working.”

The new office is 100% green tariff powered, with additional renewable energy provided by photovoltaic panels in the parking area.

After two years of planning, the move is now complete.
