North of the river is 'Globe Hall', part of The Peterborough Environmental Project’s existing 450 m² building. Here the focus will be on helping visitors to a better understanding of today’s macro-environmental issues. For instance: human induced climate change; other problems of terrestrial pollution; the gap between rich and poor; urbanisation; global population growth; and the World’s natural resources. Sustainable transport is all about managing our mobility with respect to our planet’s finite capacity and life support systems.

The building has a laboratory especially for school visitors to explore aspects of renewable energy.

It will also have a demonstration combined heat and power (CHP) plant.

In the vicinity are several outside exhibits on power generation, old and new.
