context_page_description: Endeavour House is the meeting place and offices of Suffolk County Council located at Russel Road in Ipswich, Suffolk, England.
context_section_description: The building has 50,000 photovoltaic cells incorporated into the glass curtain walls, this being the largest installation of any office building in Europe. At peak sunlight these cells provide 57% of the building's energy demand and also create a dark pattern on the glass. There are also rain collecting reservoirs underground which recycle the water and pump it around the building for use in toilets. It has a design suited to a corporate business with glass curtain walls, cantilever walkways and offices with windows that look into the concourse. It is a major improvement on the Council's aging headquarters at the East Suffolk County Hall.
  The building is situated opposite Grafton House (the Ipswich Borough Council HQ) located on 8 Russell Road. Portman Road Stadium is situated behind the building. There is limited surface car parking for permit holders with access from Constantine Road. There is also a large multistorey car park shared with Ipswich Borough Council with access from Constantine Road.
