Keppie secure West Dunbartonshire Council HQ commission
Keppie has been appointed as design and landscape architect for a £19.3m headquarters for West Dunbartonshire Council following a four-way pitch.

Delivered on behalf of hub West Scotland the Castle Street project will see the A-listed façade of Dumbarton Burgh Hall retained as a frontage for a new office block housing 500 staff.

Keppie director Richard MacDonald said:  “We are honoured to be designing such an important civic building for the Council.  We will strive to create a state-of-the-art, energy conscious and efficiently designed office which we hope will be a great place to work.

“This is an important regeneration project for Dumbarton and the redevelopment of this site is a fantastic opportunity to integrate a sympathetic but contemporary solution into the existing urban context.”

Design work is currently underway with construction expected by autumn 2015 for completion by summer 2017.

What are the odds of it costing £19.3m and finishing in 'summer' 2017 ?
