Iconic Reading building earmarked for demolition.
The demolition of the Civic Centre in Reading has been approved by the council.
The 1970s concrete building will be vacated over the coming few weeks.
But the planning committee confirmed the nearby Hexagon theatre, also built in the 70s, would not be demolished during redevelopment of the area.
Council leader Jo Lovelock said: “The Hexagon is remaining and there will be an interim plan giving the place a bit of a facelift.”
Just under 1,000 staff members based in the Civic Centre will move in phases, with the aim that the building will be empty by 15 December.
