A £2.7 million refurbishment scheme for public areas of EastWest, a prominent, 175,860 sq ft office building in Nottingham City Centre has been completed by Triton Construction.

The extensive refurbishment included major demolition works of the former Toll Hill Public House which previously occupied the ground floor of East House, and the fit out of a modern new café facility with mezzanine. Triton has also reconfigured the reception area, installed double height curtain wall glazing, refurbished the stairwell, and fixed new lifts to serve the upper seven floors.

CEG acquired the 1970's office building, formerly known as City Gate East and West, on behalf of investors in October 2018. It has since embarked on a substantial refurbishment programme to update and introduce impressive new amenities to the buildings which are home to companies including Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham Post, Arup and JLL.

Paul Clarkson, Managing Director at Triton Construction said: "We are delighted to complete our first contract with CEG on such a prominent office building in Nottingham. The project was not without its challenges, not least because of the supply chain impact of the pandemic but due to the tight restrictions of a city centre site. Since the building is almost fully occupied, we also needed to provide new access routes to the upper levels and conduct any demolition works out of hours.  We worked through numerous design alterations throughout the project to deliver a truly impressive new landmark for the city of Nottingham."

Triton Construction is a £50 million turnover company providing design and build, civils, fit out and refurbishment services. Established for more than 16 years, it employed over 80 people across offices in the North West and Yorkshire.

The company has extensive experience in delivering sympathetic refurbishment projects to provide more modern and sustainable facilities to landmark buildings including the major internal refurbishment of the iconic Royal Liver Building in Liverpool.
