BBC £252m "live news centre"

The BBC is to spend £252m creating a “live news centre” at Broadcasting House, Portland Place, London W1. The development will start shortly with the demolition of Egton House, an adjoining building, starting in January 2003. Bovis Lend Lease has been appointed as the construction manager. The 9 to 13 storey complex has been designed by Sir Richard McCormac and will include 140 studios, a central atrium, and a huge newsroom. All the BBC’s radio operations and television news will be brought together in the building. The first stage of the project is the refurbishment and extension of Broadcasting House, a 1932 Grade II* listed building, and the demolition of four adjoining properties to create two new buildings of about 74,321 sq m (800,000 sq ft). The scheme will be completed by 2008. - (16-12-2002)
