Dorset Police Headquarters

Willmott Dixon has commenced on a project to deliver a new headquarters for Dorset Police, chalking up its latest project in a growing portfolio of blue light schemes.

Procured using the SCF construction framework, the project will see the creation of a new headquarters at Dorset Police’s Winfrith site. The project will deliver a 30,000 sq ft three-storey ‘Grade A’ office building, with the design incorporating a contemporary mixture of facing brickwork and glazed curtain walling.

Sustainable features

Being designed to the BREEAM ‘Very Good’ sustainability standard, the building will incorporate air source heat pumps and an array of PV panels, harnessing the sun for additional energy generation.

Richard Poulter, Managing Director for Willmott Dixon’s Central South business said:

“We are delighted to have commenced this highly anticipated project for Dorset Police, creating a vibrant office within a highly sustainable building. We look forward to seeing the project progress.”

Ready for 2024

The main Headquarters will complete in Spring 2024, with the demolition of existing structures and associated landscaping completing Winter 2024. It represents the latest in a proud history for Willmott Dixon of delivering cutting edge blue light facilities to meet the needs of modern policing.

We are also onsite in Kirklees currently delivering flagship new headquarters for the Kirklees district of West Yorkshire Police. This follows the delivery of Rose Hill, a new £48m headquarters for Merseyside Police in Liverpool, which was handed over to the customer in 2021.
