The department is moving after its former home Richmond House was chosen as a decant option for the duration of the mooted 拢6bn revamp of the Palace of Westminster

Staff are moving into the Department of Health鈥檚 (DoH) new head office following a revamp by Willmott Dixon鈥檚 fit out arm.

The refurbishment of 39 Victoria Street - an 11-storey building over 9,000m2 - in November 2016 and now allows for hot desking and standing desk areas. 

The project - procured through Scape Group鈥檚 Major Worls framework - see the department鈥檚 team relocate from their current office in Richmond House, Whitehall. 

This has been slated as a possible temporary residence for the House of Commons if the government presses forward with plans to renovate the Palace of Westminster.

Willmott Dixon said the new office space has been 鈥渁ttracting interest from other government departments as they look to adopt similar working practices鈥.

It is also carrying out the transformation of the Old Admiralty building on Horseguards Parade into new offices for the Department of Education.
