Cllr Theo Blackwell of Camden Council is quoted as saying that, "... “5 Pancras Square is a fantastic new public services hub for Camden, as well as being one of the greenest public buildings in the UK.”  Bennetts Associates add that, "... The new building enables the council to significantly improve its face-to-face customer service points in the King’s Cross area, and deliver new, improved public library and leisure facilities sat beneath ten floors of office accommodation."
