£2M For Belfast Office Refurbishment
Over £2m is to be spent on a city centre office building that is to be given a major refit and refurbishment.
The project is for internal work on the Department of Finance and Personnel building at College Street, an existing six-storey 1960s building.
It has a reinforced concrete frame with concrete floors and roof with all floors of the building to be stripped out and refitted as open plan office accommodation to full Workplace NI Standard and include meeting rooms and tea points.
The existing accommodation consists of cellular offices formed with timber stud partitions. The toilet facilities will remain in the same location but will be refurbished to satisfy Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requirements. Lifts serving all floors will be replaced by a separate contract.
Staircases will remain as existing with alterations to the handrails to satisfy DDA requirements.
The work includes refurbishment of the mechanical and electrical services and installation of cabling for telephone and IT services.
The building will be unoccupied during the construction period and the work is to be started in November and will last for 20 weeks with an estimated contract value of £2,200,000.
