HS2: WASHWOOD HEATH DEPOT
The 30-acre site will be transformed into the nerve centre of the new High Speed railway line, creating 550 jobs in the process.
Three buildings will be built: a Maintenance Building depot, a Network Integrated Control Centre [NICC], and a cleaners’ and drivers’ [C&D] building – each incorporating solar panels, sustainable drainage, renewable energy & low carbon materials.
All three buildings have been designed to allow maximum accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists, with dedicated routes connecting with Birmingham’s future transport network. A contractor will be announced in autumn 2023.
