Lend Lease will carry out refurbishment work on Stage 6 of Television Centre to provide new headquarters for BBC Worldwide, the commercial subsidiary of the British Broadcasting Corporation.
The contract comes six months after Lend Lease was awarded the project's pre-construction works, completed last month.
Lend Lease has previously delivered both the MediaCityUK studios in Salford and the refurbishment of Broadcasting House in London.
The central feature of the refurbished Stage 6 will be a new light-well with a bespoke ribbon-like staircase running down through the middle of the building, designed to maximise the amount of natural light in the building, the contractor said.
This stage will include the removal of the existing staircase, risers and lifts in the central core, followed by the creation of new risers and lift shafts.
Dan Labbad, Lend Lease's group chief operating officer and Europe CEO, said: "We are excited to be working with the BBC again, following the successful delivery of MediaCityUK in Salford and Broadcasting House in London.
"This latest success builds on the strong progress we have made during the last 12 months. We have taken major steps forward on our £1.5bn Elephant & Castle regeneration project – construction is well underway at both our One The Elephant and Trafalgar Place residential developments – and last month we won the £100m contract to build Beacon Barracks in Staffordshire for the Ministry of Defence."
