India Buildings has been closed for more than three weeks due to severe flooding in its basement.
The building officially opened just three months ago after a problematic four year refurbishment project, costing more than £38m. The fault is thought to have originated in the hot water system and is yet to be resolved.
For a fourth week running, core staff have been relocated to St John’s House, Bootle, while others have been told to work from home. Staff who have left personal items inside the building are allowed to enter between 9am and midday, Monday to Friday.
