The BCO judges praised Tombola House for its balance of corporate culture and social responsibility, with the business’ commitment to wellness and the local community embedded throughout its design. The building is the European HQ for Europe’s largest gaming company by the same name, and marks the first phase of a wider campus development. The public has also been encouraged to make use of the campus space, and judges were impressed by its ‘socially enriching’ environment – which includes a social hub, a café/restaurant, a gym, and more.
