Royal Centre for Defence Medicine: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse was of constructing Glenart Castle Mess in Longbridge.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Glenart Castle Mess was constructed in July 2017. The total construction time for the entire project, including planning/prebuild and post-building works was from 2014 to 29 September 2017. The capital cost of the construction of Glenart Castle Mess in Longbridge, was £29.5 million. This figure reflects the cost of building the Mess itself. However, the total capital cost of the wider project, which included associated infrastructure such as utilities, highways, hardstanding, weather protection shelters, and risk assessments, was c£36.2 million.
