Willmott Dixon Interiors win contract to refurbish Grade II listed Sanctuary Buildings in London, home to the DfE
Willmott Dixon Interiors will deliver the phased CAT B fit-out of 12,850m2 across floors of the property in Victoria.
The 27-month project will create a more modern, sustainable and streamlined office environment.
Existing plant facilities will be upgraded as part of DfE’s decarbonisation agenda, while the infrastructure will be put in place to support the future use of photovoltaic solar panelling.
Graham Shaw, managing director at Willmott Dixon Interiors, said: “This will allow the DfE to facilitate hybrid working within its base at Sanctuary Buildings.
“We’ll be refurbishing the building to modern standards and future proofing its plant facilities to deliver a sustainable workplace environment that promotes wellbeing and inclusivity.
The project was awarded via the Southern Construction Framework and is expected to be completed by autumn 2024.
James Wright, SCF framework manager, said: “This is an exciting project to modernise the DfE headquarters, the customer has utilised the SCF to enable an integrated, collaborative approach to this project, allowing a flexible approach to delivery to satisfy their stakeholders requirements.”
The project team includes Arcadis, which is delivering principal design, project management and cost consultancy services.
