Poole Civic Centre

Poole Civic Centre, an iconic Art Deco municipal building in Poole, Dorset, has a rich history dating back to its opening in 1932. Originally serving as the headquarters for Poole Borough Council, it features a striking symmetrical design with a grand archway and notable internal spaces like the council chamber and mayor's parlour. The building was listed as Grade II in 2019 and has undergone various refurbishments to enhance accessibility. Currently, plans are underway to transform it into a boutique hotel while developing additional housing on the site, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring the evolution of civic architecture and urban development in the area.
