Refurb Work Complete At Kendal Town Hall
Refurbishment work has been completed at Kendal Town Hall.
South Lakeland District Council's (SLDC) main reception area has been relocated to the front of the town hall to make it more accessible for customers and community groups. Spaces have also been created inside the town hall for use by community organisations.
The work by Caddick Construction on the town hall is the first phase of a project to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the council’s main accommodation in Kendal as part of the authority’s Customer Connect transformation programme.
The Caddick Construction team is delivering the second stage of work to remodel the offices in South Lakeland House, so that around half the office space will be available to let to other organisations and creating a 'Mintworks 2' new enterprise centre for start-up businesses, to build on the success of the existing council-run Mintworks hub on Highgate, which has supported hundreds of small businesses and clients in the five years since it opened.
Designed to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability credentials of these buildings, the works will include improvements to insulation and windows and a green roof, solar panels and motion sensor LED lighting will be installed where appropriate to provide further efficiencies.
Mark Walker, Contracts Manager at Caddick Construction said: "Completing the refurbishment of Kendal Town Hall is a significant milestone. It has helped to secure the future of the Town Hall and as the team continues to progress the South Lakeland House remodel, we will also deliver vibrant, healthy workspace designed to improve productivity and appeal to modern businesses."
