The British Council of Offices (BCO) has selected the Sweett Group to provide

multidisciplinary professional services on a four year research study for the Civil Service Government Hubs Programme.

The government estate comprises around 8.6M m² and offices make up approximately half of this space. The rationalisation programme will create multi-departmental hubs in around 18-20 strategic locations across the country. The requirement for space will fall between 25,000m²-60,000m² and the new hubs will typically be Grade A office space which meets BREEAM Excellent standard.


Jenny Mac Donnell, Director of Research and Policy at the BCO said: "We are delighted to work in partnership with the Government Property Unit (GPU) on this extensive research study. The BCO recognises this project has the potential to be the largest and most influential study of its kind within the UK and, potentially, globally."

Sweett Group will lead a team of experts from Workplace Strategy, Ramidus, Hillbreak and Unwork to support the BCO.
