DESIGNERS BROUGHT IN PRIOR TO STRIP OUT

- WILLIAM TELFORD

Civic Centre work is finally in sight

PLYMOUTH City Council is to pay a team of designers £2.6m to carry out preparatory work at the derelict Civic Centre before it is turned into luxury flats and a college campus.

The council will employ a team of specialists to undertake detailed technical surveys and design work for the 14-storey skyscraper.

Contractors are expected to be on site at the end of next month to complete an internal strip out. This is expected to continue into the new year. The total cost of employing a full design team to design and manage the works is estimated to be £2.6m “over the next few years”.

Earlier this year, the council bought back the Grade II listed tower from Urban Splash for just £1 – nine years after it was sold to the Manchester-headquartered developer for the same amount.
