PAISLEY-based Clark Contracts has secured a contract to fit out the new offices of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) at 110 Queen Street in Glasgow.
ACCA has taken the last available space at the CONNECT110NS building, joining tenants such as law firm Brodies, Deloitte and Grant Thornton, and will occupy first, second and third floors.
Clark is on site now and aims to finish work on the project in October, with ACCA scheduled to move its 650 employees from its current Glasgow offices at Central Quay and Hydepark Street the following month.
Clark managing director Gordon Cunningham said: “We look forward to completing this high-spec fit out for ACCA. The offices feature large open plan floorplates, providing a great deal of flexibility and we are sure this will provide an enhanced working environment for everyone at ACCA for many years to come.”
The contractor, which is on site now, is manufacturing items such as reception desks, a feature wall and a ceiling from its in-house joinery workshop for the project. The overall design is influenced by ACCA's newly-refurbished London head office in the Adelphi building.
Jan Loyd, head of global business support at ACCA, said: "ACCA has a strong history in Scotland, going back to the 1970s and the relocation to the Queen Street location is an exciting step for ACCA as an international organisation.The space, design and fit out will provide a modern working environment for ACCA staff that’s efficient, effective, making the best use of collaborative work and meeting spaces”.
Located opposite Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow city centre, CONNECT110NS spans 143,000 square feet of office space over eight floors and 19,000 sq ft of ground floor retail space.
It was developed by BAM Properties, which sold it to Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management for £70 million before the building was completed in June of last year.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
