House of Commons expected to move into Richmond House by 2025
Lendlease has pulled off another high-profile win with the firm set to carry out work turning a former government building in Westminster into a temporary debating chamber for MPs while the Palace of Westminster is refurbished.
The firm, which has begun on site to build the new Google headquarters building in King’s Cross, has been appointed to carry out work on the former Department of Health headquarters, Richmond House, and turn it into a debating chamber and associated offices.
The department moved out of the 1980s building last year and in January MPs voted for the House of Commons to move to Richmond House while work to overhaul the crumbling Palace of Westminster is carried out. Peers are due to move into the nearby QEII Centre in Westminster.
