Endeavour House, Government office building in Ipswich, England
Description
Endeavour House is a modern government office building in Ipswich with five stories and extensive glass curtain walls that define its contemporary appearance. Its high-tech design features transparent facades and clean architectural lines that make it stand out from older structures in the area.
History
The building was purchased by Suffolk County Council in 2003 after the original developer TXU Corporation encountered financial difficulties and left it incomplete. This acquisition became a turning point in regional administration and allowed multiple councils to consolidate their operations under one roof.
Culture
The building serves as a central meeting point for Suffolk County Council, Babergh District Council, and Mid Suffolk District Council administrative operations.
Practical
Access is typically available on weekdays, with parking accessible via Constantine Road making arrival by car straightforward. As an active government office, visitors should note that opening hours follow standard business times and it is wise to confirm access before visiting.

The building contains thousands of photovoltaic cells embedded in its glass walls, which generate a significant portion of its energy needs on sunny days. This integrated solar system demonstrates an early adoption of renewable energy technology within the region's administrative architecture.
