A Civil Service hub managed by the Government Property Agency has received an award for its inclusivity and accessibility.
22-26 Whitehall
A CIVIL Service building in the centre of London has received a prestigious award, marking a key achievement for the Government Property Agency (GPA).
Earlier this month, 22-26 Whitehall, a Government Hub managed by the GPA, received ‘Inclusive Environments Recognition’ from the Construction Industry Council (CIC) as it was commended for its accessibility and inclusivity.
Sam Carey-Smith, Head of Workplace Design at the GPA, said:
“This is an unprecedented achievement for the GPA, as we have secured this accolade for a listed building for the very first time. The accreditation from the CIC not only underlines our mission to create great places to work for civil servants but also our commitment to a high-quality and accessible design in our buildings. Inclusive offices remove barriers that may prevent individuals with physical, cognitive and sensory needs from fully participating in the workplace, so it is paramount that we continue to build on this recognition and create a level playing field throughout the government office estate.”
