Haringey Civic Centre, built in 1958 and Grade II listed by English Heritage in 2018, is getting a makeover, with a new annex, improved offices and restored civic spaces.
The project was approved by the council鈥檚 planning sub-committee in September 2023.
Council leader Peray Ahmet said: 鈥淭his project will re-establish the building as the focal point for public life in the borough and create a dynamic and inclusive space for future generations.
鈥淚t will provide high-quality, accessible, and sustainable office accommodation for up to 900 staff, as well as a hub for civic and community activity with green credentials helping us move towards our commitment to a zero-carbon estate.
鈥淭his move is not just a change of address - it鈥檚 an opportunity to embrace new ways of working that will enhance the council鈥檚 efficiency and foster better collaboration with our community and partners.
鈥淏y safeguarding and enhancing the Civic Centre we aim to honour its history and build new memories. At the same time reviving that sense of an open council, working together with our communities, and welcoming visitors once again.鈥�
Steven McGee, chief operating officer of Sisk Ireland & UK, said: 鈥淚t's going to be a really interesting project full of innovative techniques, with sustainability at its core. Our team have the experience to drive this forward and the end result will be a site that the local community can be proud of.
鈥淭he design includes the creation of a central courtyard and landscaping, together with significant improvements to the existing building, such as the installation of insulation throughout and solar panels to boost energy efficiency.鈥�
