New offices and a 32-bed Single Living Accommodation block have been handed over to the Air C2 (Command and Control) Force at RAF Leeming in Northallerton. The Defence Infrastructure Organisation said it was the first project to complete under a contract signed in 2023 to deliver work under the Ministry of Defence's Defence Estate Optimisation Portfolio.

Construction on the c£15 million project began in September 2025. Galliford Try was awarded the contract to develop the design and deliver the infrastructure, with Arcadis supporting design assurance, while the DIO managed the work for the MOD. Both buildings use a pre-cast concrete construction system, are heated with air source heat pumps powered in part by solar panels, and use harvested rainwater.

The buildings were handed to Air Officer Commanding 2 Group Air Vice-Marshal Anthony Lyle and Commander Air Bases Air Commodore Simon Blackwell. The Air C2 Force, responsible for round-the-clock air surveillance, has been based at RAF Leeming, RAF Boulmer and RRH Staxton Wold since relocating from RAF Scampton in 2022. The DIO's project manager said the force can now complete its move to RAF Leeming. Separately, Galliford Try funded and refurbished the site's Cinebowl as a social value initiative.
