The facility will bring together a range of services delivered by North Tyneside Council, North of Tyne Primary Care Trust, and Northumbria Police community service under one roof.
Client is Newcastle and North Tyneside (NNT) Lift Co - a partnership between the Primary Care Trust and North Tyneside Council. Robertson is also investing in the project, as developer of Whitley Bay’s Spanish City development.
Robertson regional managing director Andy McLeod said: “We have been working with North Tyneside Council for a number of years on the Whitley Bay Joint Services Centre project and are thrilled to get started on site.”
The facility is targeting BREEAM Excellent status, and has been designed with large atrium space running through the centre of the building.
When completed in spring 2013, the building will include a new state-of-the-art library split over two floors, a tourist information service, and a self-contained Primary Care Trust services suite. It will also house community rooms and an event space as well as a number of office suites.
Russell Taylor, operations director at developer NNT LIFT Co, said: “This is major step forward for Whitley Bay’s largest regeneration scheme and great news for the local community. We are very excited to deliver this project which will have a significant effect on the regeneration of Whitley Bay Town Centre.”
