This is the depot for the Neighbourhood Services directorate. Located at Hazel Court, James Street off Hull Road, the EcoDepot is highly water and energy efficient. Its centre piece is an office made with a timber frame and walls made from straw bales. The site also incorporates renewable energy and rain water harvesting.

You can read more about the construction of the EcoDepot on the BBC North Yorkshire EcoDepot blog. 

The EcoDepot development was supported by Yorkshire Forward.
