Project update – site – Following careful planning, the hoarding is now in place to separate the two construction areas from guests across the site. A green colour has been chosen for the hoarding to preserve the green landscape surrounding The Moller Centre. Alternate pedestrian routes have been implemented across the site with the client’s comfort as a priority. In February, some additional stairs and doors will be introduced, to help assist our clients move between the Main Building and the Study Centre during the wetter months, while also providing a safe separation from building activity.

Project update – design – the majority of areas are very near to being signed off, with the restaurant triangle infill being the current area of priority.

Project update – programme & construction – Activity behind the green hoarding for the coming months will be preparing the groundwork for the foundations, prior to building work going up. In short, nothing will protrude above the hoarding for a while yet.

Project update – procurement – Appointments with our Danish furniture suppliers have commenced as we focus on interior design. We remain committed to our authentic interior style, using more of the iconic Hans Wegner range. The local planning office have approved our brick selection, and the focus now moves to matching our existing mortar to ensure the extension is as sympathetic as possible to the original design.

Project update – people – Morgan Sindall, the appointed main contractors from the local area, are well established on site. Project Manager for Morgan Sindall is Andy Walsham, who has over 20 years experience and a proven track record for quality projects completed on time. Andy is also well connected with local contractors, to help ensure the local economy continues to flourish.
