BREAKING GROUND AT CIVIC PLACE
“Liverpool Civic Place will anchor and activate the southern end of the Liverpool city centre, providing new public spaces, community facilities and job opportunities for our growing city.”
‘Start demolition!’ With these words Liverpool Mayor Wendy Waller set the wheels in motion for work to begin on Council’s most ambitious project to date Liverpool Civic Place.
Built Managing Director Brett Mason said: “This project will provide job creation and employment training opportunities. We estimate that at the peak of construction we will have 350 workers on site, of which 30 roles will be new construction industry graduates and apprentices.”

The Mayor joined senior representatives from Built including managing director Brett Mason to get works under way. “This important community facility, constructed in partnership between Liverpool City Council and Built, is one of the most significant projects in our city’s history,” Mayor Waller said.
Liverpool Civic Place will consist of a public plaza and city library, new Council offices and chambers, a childcare centre and underground parking. Demolition and excavation works are expected to finish in mid 2021 with project completion planned for early 2023.
