We are delighted to have been confirmed as the Main Contractor for the £42m Paisley Museum expansion with construction expected to begin in the early summer after Renfrewshire council rubber-stamped our appointment.
The contract is worth £23m to Kier and the final negotiations will now take place with a view to formally appointing us next month.
The overhaul, which has been designed by Amanda Levete’s practice, was approved by council planners in October 2019. It will allow the museum to more than double the number of objects on display to 1,200 and attract an expected 128,000 visitors each year when its doors open.
Improvement work will include a new entrance courtyard and entranceway, along with a new west wing, outdoor garden space and an interactive weaving studio. The museum is expected to re-open in 2022. Originally opened in 1871, it was designed by Glasgow architect John Honeyman.
The expansion is the key project in the £100m regeneration of Paisley, which also includes a refurbishment of the town’s A-listed town hall and construction of a new learning and cultural hub on the town’s high street.
