The innovation
SPV General Manager, Eilidh Paffett, explains what the project entailed.
„Our team transformed a derelict brownfield site into a purpose-built 8,000 m2 law enforcement centre. The facility included specialised units for custody and communications which had to incorporate a high level of resilience to civil emergencies.

Capital Value
Efficient environment
„It was also important to provide a comfortable and efficient environment for 450 police officers and 60 civilian support staff as well as ensuring that it catered for a range of community activities for the people of Derby.“
As well as office and administration facilities, the four-storey building provides a 39-cell custody suite and a separate victim support and child protection unit.
The design also incorporated the latest communications technology. That included a 60 metre-high radio mast. By renting out space on the mast, shared third-party income was generated for the Police Authority and for the project special purpose vehicle (SPV).
Facilities Management includes building engineering maintenance, cleaning services, furniture provisional renewal, and waste management.
