Coventry city council this week unveiled images for its proposed 100,000 sq ft headquarters. The Allies and Morrison-designed £40m office block will kick-start development at the 3.2m sq ft Friargate project.
The council plans to move most of its operations to the new building, saving £800,000 a year in running costs.
A planning application was submitted last month and, subject to consent, work will start on site next ?year. Friargate is a 15-year phased regeneration project developed by the Friargate Coventry partnership between Cannon Kirk and the council. GVA is advising.
