Description.
£9.7M – NEC 3 Refurbishment project to incorporate essential Health, Safety, Repair, and Environmental Improvement works. This involved Internal and external refurbishment works to the grade 2 listed building to incorporate 2 new courtyard atria covered by an ETFE roof and bespoke scenic lifts to each courtyard.
Originally completed in 1937, the Grade II-listed building has experienced 80 years of intensive use – yet little investment in restoration and modernisation.
To bring it into the 21st century, we refurbished and enhanced the spaces to ensure its continued future use for council staff, visitors and public.
We started thinking about how the building could work harder for the council, using every inch of floor space and introducing new uses that could generate much needed revenue.
