Revived by
Supported by investment from the Enterprise M3 LEP, this Victorian former officers mess building has been extensively refurbished by Homes England. The building has been converted into high quality office space to support small businesses. The refurbishment of BASE is the fourth phase of regeneration at Louisburg Barracks (now known as The Heritage Quarter). This former Ministry of Defence site was acquired by Homes England in late 2013 to kick start the wider regeneration of Whitehill and Bordon. To date, the new relief road has been delivered, new homes are already occupied and the Future Skills Centre is open.
BASE is seen as critical to the development of Louisburg and creating a place to both live and work by:
- Providing a high quality, sustainable business space that supports small start-up businesses and job creation, including virtual and shared services that create economies of scale;
- Establishing an attractive location for small and medium businesses to establish, remain and grow in Bordon; and
- Stimulating innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration to enable business growth through training, networking and nurturing small businesses

The Council from the outset has placed job creation as a top priority, with the provision of quality business space at the same time as housing develop as integral to the future success of the town.
