Design and Refurbishment of BLF Newcastle Office

Description

Big Lottery Fund has occupied the 5th, 6th & 7th floor of St James Gate for the last 12 years under a full repair and maintenance lease. It plan to reduce occupancy to 2 floors and would like to refurbish floors 5 and 6. Since carrying out a full property review of all our offices, and the successful refurbishment of our offices in Birmingham and Leeds, we have identified our current office in Newcastle does not reflect our vision. The refurbishment of the Newcastle office will provide more flexible, collaborative spaces, and be suitable to invite in our stakeholders to build upon our relationships within the local community.The project is primarily to achieve occupancy requirements, and incorporate hot desking facilities, but also to bring the space in line with our desired design. It is important to the Fund that the project demonstrates an investment in the wellbeing of its staff whilst being mindful of its obligations to use public funds appropriately.
