SNC-Lavalin has announced it is moving into new London offices as part of plans to grow its operation in the UK.

The Canadian consultant, which bought Atkins last summer in a 拢2bn deal, has signed a deal with developer Landsec to move into the Nova complex in Victoria (pictured) from its current office, the 1960s Euston Tower, in the first quarter of next year.

The new offices at Nova鈥檚 North 好色先生TV will house more than 1,000 staff from SNC-Lavalin and its other businesses, including Atkins.

Philip Hoare, chief executive of Atkins in the UK and Europe, said Nova North offered the firm 鈥渁 modern, efficient and flexible working environment in central London鈥�.

Last year, the Nova building won the Carbuncle Cup, organised by 好色先生TV鈥檚 sister title BD, with the competition鈥檚 judges labelling the structure 鈥渃rass鈥�, 鈥渙ver-scaled鈥� and a 鈥渉ideous mess鈥�. It was designed by PLP and built by Mace.
