City centre office block to get £470k makeover
City of Wolverhampton CouncilA city centre office block will get a £470,000 makeover, as part of plans to relocate a pension firm.
City of Wolverhampton Council approved plans to refurbish Wolverhampton's i10 offices, in Railway Drive, which opened in 2015 and were joined by the i9 offices in 2021.
It is part of a move by the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).
The work will last three months and will begin in August, once a contractor has been found.
The council is spending £1.8m to refurbish the i10 building altogether, including £1.1m for the LGPS relocation from the i9 building opposite, as well as £650,000 to build and fit a new business lounge at the offices.
A cabinet report published ahead of the meeting said it would support local businesses to start up, scale up and thrive, and would attract new benefits.
