Howard Civil Engineering supported Willmott Dixon in the delivery of the new Kirklees District Headquarters for West Yorkshire Police, a major development providing modern policing facilities for the region.

Constructed on the former Kirklees College site, the project combines a new-build headquarters with the extensive refurbishment and modernisation of the historic Grade II listed Oldroyd building, preserving an important part of the site’s heritage while creating a contemporary operational facility.

The completed headquarters provides approximately 10,000m² of accommodation, including a state-of-the-art custody suite, public helpdesk, flexible office space, gym and property store. Alongside the construction works, the project has delivered significant social value through investment in local businesses, employment opportunities and community initiatives across Kirklees.
