Restoration Work Complete At West Bromwich Town Hall And Library

Construction News Image
Morgan Sindall Construction has successfully completed the restoration of West Bromwich Town Hall and Library, restoring the significant building to its former glory for the community to enjoy.

Prior to the project's handover, Morgan Sindall gave a presentation to the SMBC Members and Town Councillors to showcase the completed restoration and celebrate the completion of this significant project five weeks ahead of schedule.

As part of the project, the Grade II listed West Bromwich Town Hall and Library, originally built in 1874-1875 by Alexander and Henman, has undergone extensive external refurbishment to preserve the building and restore its strong presence on West Bromwich High Street.

From the heritage stonework through to the timber sash windows, the Morgan Sindall team worked hard to ensure that the public will be able to make greater use of the reinvigorated building and to secure the future of the important civic building by preserving many of the original features, creating a watertight envelope to allow the building to be used by the local community once again.

Appointed by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council through the Construction West Midlands Framework, this refurbishment highlights Morgan Sindall’s ongoing commitment to added value within the local community, generating over £4.5 million in social value.

This figure represents a 66% social return on investment – a value that was measured and monetised through Morgan Sindall Group's Social Value Bank, in line with the HM Treasury Green Book.

The West Bromwich Town Hall and Library restoration not only preserves a significant historical landmark but provides the community with an improved civic space sooner than anticipated, having completed the works five weeks ahead of schedule. This project is testament to Morgan Sindall's ability to deliver complex restoration works efficiently and effectively, while using materials and methods with sustainability at its core.
