A construction company has completed a £2.7 million contract to refurbish the public areas of a prominent building in Nottingham city centre.
Triton Construction, which has offices in the North East and West Yorkshire, carried out the work for property investment company CEG at the 176,000 sq ft EastWest building in Tollhouse Hill.
The extensive refurbishment included demolishing the former Toll Hill Public House which previously occupied the ground floor, and fitting out a café with mezzanine.
Triton also reconfigured the reception area, installed double height curtain wall glazing, refurbished the stairwell, and fixed new lifts to serve the upper seven floors.
CEG acquired the 1970’s office building, formerly known as City Gate East and West, on behalf of investors in October 2018.
It has since embarked on a substantial refurbishment programme to update the buildings which are home to companies including Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham Post, Arup and JLL.
Paul Clarkson, managing director at Triton Construction said: “We are delighted to complete our first contract with CEG on such a prominent office building in Nottingham.
“The project was not without its challenges, not least because of the supply chain impact of the pandemic but due to the tight restrictions of a city centre site.

“Since the building is almost fully occupied, we also needed to provide new access routes to the upper levels and conduct any demolition works out of hours.
“We worked through numerous design alterations throughout the project to deliver a truly impressive new landmark for the city of Nottingham.”
