Located in the heart of Leicester, the historic Guildhall building has entered a new chapter. We transformed the impressive space into a state-of-the-art office for our client, Oak Spinney.  

With a history dating back to the Middle Ages, the Guildhall has served as a Town Hall, library, police station and performance venue. Today, this Grade I listed landmark continues its legacy with a modern workplace environment designed to support productivity while preserving its unique heritage.  

Spanning the basement, ground floor and three upper levels, this impressive project involved a complete CAT B fit-out delivered to Spaces’ highest standards. Works included the full strip-out of the existing offices, new partition layouts as well as installation of mechanical and electrical services. Our expert team also installed CCTV and door access control systems, acoustic ceilings, floor repairs and fitted a new kitchen area. We then brought the space to life with installed glazed walls, bespoke joinery, high-quality finishes and FF&E, creating a flexible and contemporary workspace across all four floors.

This project required the integration of modern workplace solutions within a heritage setting, demanding both technical expertise and care. Our in-house design, joinery and flexible office fit-out teams worked collaboratively to balance functionality with respect for the Guildhall’s historic fabric. The result is a seamless blend of cutting-edge office specification with the character of one of Leicester’s most iconic landmarks.

Key members of the team included Senior Project Manager James Ball and Site Manager Craig Longdon, whose leadership ensured the successful completion of this complex refurbishment.  

We specialise in providing clients with a fully integrated service underpinned by our values of quality, integrity and proactivity. The Leicester Guildhall project is a standout example of our ability to create exceptional, future-proofed workplaces while safeguarding the past.  

We are proud to have delivered such fresh, dynamic  offices for Oak Spinney, while ensuring the Guildhall continues to serve the city with a new purpose for the future.
