Lend Lease has won the job to refurbish Stage 6 of the BBC television centre, part of the wider development of the iconic site

BBC Television Centre - AHMM / Stanhope

The Stage 6 project is part of the wider reworking of the Grade II-listed doughnut-shaped building at Wood Lane in West London that is being developed by Stanhope, which bought the building for 拢200m last year.

The Grade II-listed parts of the building will be retained while a number of perimeter buildings will be demolished and redeveloped into a mixed-use development to include office and studio space for the BBC.

The main feature of the refurbished Stage 6 will be a new lightwell with a bespoke ribbon-like staircase running down through the middle of the building.

According to construction information provider Barbour/ABI, the job is worth 拢23m.

This will give the new tenants ample helpings of natural light as well as a unique staircase to access the floors.

Simon Hipperson, chief executive of Lend Lease in EMEA, said: 鈥淲e are excited to be working with the BBC again and we look forward to strengthening further the relationship that delivered MediaCityUK in Salford and Broadcasting House in London.鈥�

Work started on site last month and is due for completion in late 2014.
