Lot 1

This project comprises the relocation of Reading Central Library from its current location on nearby Kings Road into the RBC Civic Office building on Bridge Street, with associated Customer Reception remodelling. The scope of works is as follows: * Provision of 1400m2 net library accommodation within the existing building, at ground and first floor. * Enclosure of southern courtyard to create library space. * Construction of new extension to the South-East side of the building, to form new welcoming entrance sequence for the building, also accommodating remodelled customer service reception and support spaces. * Re-located Registrars spaces. * Re-location of Brighter Futures from south side to north side to allow space for 1st floor library. * Re-location of Office spaces to other parts of the building to allow space for Library and Brighter Futures moves. * External landscaping associated with the new extension. The Civic Customer Redesign and Library Relocation project looks to maximise the opportunity to redesign the main Civic Offices, creating a one public estate that introduces a cultural and service provision to our residents in one place, be it for support with Housing, Registrars, Children and Adult Services, Community space as well as being our Central Library offer. The re-design of the front of house service provides opportunity to combine resources, space and services to maximise services from one location. The design will offer a clear new identity to the Central Library as well as the reception; it will be welcoming, accessible and clearly visible from the public realm. The inviting frontage of the building will feature quality design to attract people in, with one customer journey flowing through the space.
