During the last few months the existing building has been stripped out and demolished to leave the main shell for Bam to start building a BREEAM excellent rate new council office.
Architects Corstorphine + Wright are working with BAM on the office job, which will harness hydro electricity generated by the River Derwent.
The council has justified the rebuild warning that it faced a bill of £14m to complete the maintenance backlog on the existing offices.
The newly-created council building will be more energy efficient and will see the building’s capacity rise from 500 to 1900 people.
