The physical demolition will require some occasional road closures outside peak traffic times to ensure the public safety in the immediate area.
The whole project is expected to take around 16 weeks to complete. Rotherham MBC has consulted with South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive to ensure that disruption to bus service departures and for customers using the Transport Interchange is kept to a minimum.
The seven-storey building on Effingham Street was built in the early 1970s and housed Rotherham Borough Council's Social Services department before staff moved out in 2010.
The demolition is the latest scheme in the wider Renaissance programme for Rotherham, which has seen the disposal or refurbishment of various council buildings around the town - allowing key sites to be released and developed.
