The Architects Journal reports on the new Brent Civic Centre in Wembley, which opens to the public for the first time today. A detailed rundown of the environmental benefits can be found here. A quick summary of the benefits in general is here.
The whole project illustrates the importance of staying the course. We now have a building with demonstrable benefits environmentally, fiscally, organisationally and in wider economic terms. It has taken more than a decade to achieve. There have been numerous attempts to push the whole thing off course, which would have cost the taxpayer dearly. The whole project is a reminder not to allow mischievous and often unelected elements to undermine your strategic objectives.
