The Leicester Mercury offices, designed by the local firm of architects Pick, Everard,
Keay & Gimson, were opened in 1967. The building is really two buildings in one separated by a five-centimetre gap to combat the thunderous noise from the presses. The foundations of the presses are surrounded by a 2.5 cm thick layer of cork to help keep vibration to a minimum.
