The seven-storey hub features ultra-modern office space with the capacity to house nearly 3,000 civil servants from 11 departments.

UK-based developer Artisan served as the building contractor for the Queen Elizabeth House, construction on which was completed last year. The internal fitting out has now been completed.

The project was delivered by the Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), a non-ministerial department of the UK Government responsible for the collection of taxes.

The new hub will house the civil servants from departments including Office of the Secretary of State for Scotland (OSSS), and Office of the Advocate General as well as other UK Government departments and bodies, including HMRC, HM Treasury, Cabinet Office, the Office for Statistics Regulation, the Information Commissioner’s Office, and the Government Actuary’s Department.

In the coming months, additional UK government departments are expected to confirm their respective occupancy at the hub.

The Edinburgh Hubs, together with the Glasgow hub that is under construction, are expected to be a key part of the country’s efforts to deliver enhanced public services for people in Scotland.
