Board Room

We have recently just re-opened our conference room. But this time there’s a difference! For us, the previous space just didn’t feel like a proper conference room and there was lots of work to be done! You can see from the pictures above that there is a huge difference between how the conference room looked before, and how it looks now:   Ceiling and walls – these were refurbished to allow us to soundproof the conference room for privacy.   Television – Few people [...]

Entrance Gates

Since taking over the building, we have had brand new gates installed around the perimeter to optimise safety and security. Previously, there was a barrier system in place. This has now been replaced by a new, automated steel gate across all vehicle entrances and exits. To further enhance tenant security as well as the accessibility and versatility of the building, we have also fitted a new, gated pedestrian entrance and exit on the side of the building. These entrances are linked [...]

Security System and CCTV

The building is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days.

When Acre 1176 first took over the building, we felt that it was unsafe and needed better security to ensure that tenants were safe and felt reassured. At this point, there were only 5 security cameras in [...]

Shuttle Bus

The shuttle bus plays one of the most important roles for The Vista Centre. The nearest train station is Hounslow West Station, which by walk is 20-30 mins. Now, we wouldn’t expect you to walk for half an hour in the winter to reach the tube station, or stand around in the cold waiting for the 423 bus to come! When we took over The Vista Centre, we hired a 7-seater minibus from a Chauffeur company, including a driver. When [...]

Lift Modernisation

When taking over The Vista Centre, our goal was to enhance the centre’s image and maximise it’s potential. The lifts are one of the centre’s key features and they were in need of a facelift so we undertook a full modernisation programme. There were some major disruptions during working hours, but this was all to improve the overall building image. We’re really thankful to all of our occupiers for their patience and understanding during this period. The lifts are now immaculate [...]
