Under the contract, Carillion will replace the existing Elizabeth House office block with a 14-storey, 273,000ft² building and Connell Brothers will carry out the demolition of the existing offices, which is slated to complete by April 2012.

The building has been designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating and will incorporate office floor spaces up to 22,500ft².
