The Government Property Agency (GPA) announced on 1 July 2026 the launch of its updated Government Workplace Design Guide. The new guide introduces the Core Design Requirements (CDR) framework, providing a consistent design approach for government office estates. The framework aims to deliver inclusive, accessible, modern, sustainable and digitally‑enabled workspaces. It replaces previous guidance and is intended to support the GPA’s mission to create smaller, better and greener offices across the public sector. The guide outlines specific design standards that apply to new office builds and refurbishment projects. Additional information and the full guide can be accessed on the GPA website. The update is part of ongoing efforts to improve government workplace quality and efficiency.
