Seaham Contact Centre is a multi-use, four-storey council office block that formed part of a £19m redevelopment of Seaham Town Centre. The building houses a public library and cafe as well as offices for Durham County Council and Seaham Town Council. The aim of the building was to be able to sustainably keep the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter, which it achieved a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating upon completion.
