Civic Building back in action after renovation

The Civic Building in Banbridge has re-opened to the public following major renovation works, with an officially opening planned for later this month.

The building has been closed for almost a year while work was carried out to the building fabric and services, making it fit for purpose for future service delivery.

The major refurbishment project was completed as part of an ongoing modernisation programme of key council administrative buildings.

Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council say the work will ensure the building remains in use as a key council office building, which will serve the local community for future years.

A council spokeswoamn stated, “This investment also highlights the council’s commitment to ensure that buildings under its ownership remain fit for purpose, accessible and energy efficient.”

Environmental Health is the first group of staff to take up residence at the enhanced Civic Building premises.
