The £90million building in Engineer’s Way, Wembley, has been named as a finalist for the RICS London awards, which showcases the most impressive new and regenerated projects around the capital.
The building, which opened in June 2013, has been nominated in three categories - ‘Community Benefit’ and ‘Design Through Innovation’ and ‘Regeneration’.
As well as housing 2,000 Brent Council staff, the building is home to a library, a registry office, a landscaped garden, exhibition and gallery space and ‘The Drum’ which is used for conferences, weddings and other events.
The seven-storey building, which is the UK’s “greenest” public building, has won a string of awards including the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) London Sustainability Award and being named one of the best places to work in south east England since its opening.
