One of the key objectives for the project was to facilitate a
workplace transformation, allowing the Council to adopt
a more flexible way of working which would also improve
communication, collaboration and efficiency across teams and
departments. AHR responded to this by arranging four wings
around a central atrium which incorporates a large breakout
area two touchdown decks. The atrium is the heart of the
building, creating visual connectedness and opportunities for
spontaneous meetings as users move across the building.
Keynsham Civic Centre has provided Bath & North East Somerset
Council with a landmark building which positions it at the heart
of the community it serves and which embodies its commitment
to that community and to its staff to be an exemplary Council,
investing wisely, making a positive impact in every aspect of its
work and looking to the future.
