Shortlisted category – Fit-out of Workplace (London)
HMRC Croydon
HMRC Croydon is the very bright start of the Government’s new estates transformation programme and an exemplar of the modernisation of the Civil Service. It is a big idea indeed – a national “smarter working” revolution and a transformation of how and where civil servants work.
Meeting the central challenge of doing more with less – a shift from a complex and expensive estate to a shared and flexible model – supports improved productivity and saves money. This also represents a major contribution to wider Government objectives such as localism, sustainability and reducing pressure on transport systems.
HMRC Croydon has started the journey of using the physical environment to leverage change in HMRC: – people, process and place supporting each other, realised in a modern environment designed for the people who use it. HMRC demonstrate how they prioritise people through enhanced accessibility and inclusivity, well above the statutory minimum. From powered doors to upgraded, accessible WCs, this is a truly great place to work for all. AECOM were brief consultant on the project.
