The development will form part of the authority’s ‘business transformation programme’, Working for the Future (WFTF).
Once complete the programme will leave the authority with a stock of Green efficient buildings saving a projected £100m over 25 years.
The six-storey building will house 2,200 workstations in an open plan layout and will be BREEAM-accredited. A 60-seat auditorium, meeting facilities and a connection to a Combined Heat and Power plant are all also proposed.
