READING, England (UK)—Willmott Dixon Interiors has finalized the transformation of Atlantic House in Reading, delivering the new Reading Police Station for Thames Valley Police (TVP).
The fit-out and refurbishment specialist repurposed more than 37,000 square feet of office space across three floors, providing TVP with a sleek facility interior that also delivers the operational requirements for the area.
Each floor of Atlantic House has been fully refurbished with new ceilings, partitions, and high-quality finishes, alongside upgraded MEP systems. Police officers and staff working from the new facility will also appreciate the new locker and shower facilities, and other improvements such as communal break-out areas which enhance workplace wellbeing.
The project strived to reach high environmental standards and is set to achieve a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating. It was delivered via the Southern Construction Framework (SCF).
Willmott Dixon Interiors invested in the local community through supplier partnerships, engagement with schools and colleges, and employment opportunities.
Nick Kent, project director at Willmott Dixon Interiors commented, “The successful refurbishment of Atlantic House provides TVP with a high-quality, efficient, and sustainable workplace tailored to the needs of a modern police force. Beyond delivering a first-class facility, we are proud to have made a meaningful contribution to the local community, supporting employment, skills development, and social initiatives that leave a lasting legacy.”
James Wright, head of SCF (South East & London) remarked, “The completion of this modern and sustainable workspace is a big milestone for TVP and will enable their teams to continue delivering the highest standards for the community. It has been a pleasure to support such a crucial public service in the delivery of these new facilities.”
The completion of the project enables TVP to consolidate its operations and transition from its previous premises on Castle Street in Reading.
