Project Story
Project Brief
Willmott Dixon Interiors has been appointed to refurbish Brent Civic Centre to ensure it continues to provide a positive experience for all visitors.
This project was secured through Procurement Hub. The redesign will see changes to Wembley Library on the ground floor, customer services on the mezzanine floor and wedding area.
Project Solution
Accessibility is at the heart of the project, with the building being reconfigured to accommodate wheelchair users, pushchairs and people with complex needs. Visitors will be greeted by an enhanced arrival experience, including a new main entrance and feature staircase.
The ground floor will be changing use from the main library to the customer service hub with more spacious meeting room spaces and
study areas. The library will be moving to the mezzanine level to create a flexible, inviting and multi-use library.
Upgrades will be carried out to the mechanical and electrical systems to create a user friendly and brighter workspace for the visitors. The wedding area will be spacious with improved acoustics.
The project to refurbish the centre has been shaped by a wide-ranging review into how visitors and residents access its services. It included a consultation with more than 500 residents, staff focus groups and surveys.
Project Outcome
This project will:
- Transform library facilities to improve visitor experience
- Deliver on a wide-ranging review by the council to improve its services
- Partnering with West London Careers Hub to leave a lasting positive impact on the local schools and colleges through career support
