Approach

This project involved the conservation of two Grade II Listed buildings, originally constructed in the 1700’s, into a visitors centre for Derby Cathedral opposite the scheme.

Construction

The scheme involved the formations of an education area, library, exhibition and meeting rooms, treasury displaying the cathedral’s historic objects, sensory garden, listening rooms, offices, coffee shop and gift shop.

Contract Period: 25 weeks

Finished Build

The buildings had been a former book shop which had been derelict for some time. The scheme sensitively took an existing historical building and brought it back to use.

The new Visitor Centre was opened by Her Majesty The Queen.
