Hamilton Town House, a Category ‘A’ Listed building was completely restored to provide a new district library, civil wedding rooms and function areas. It also plays a major role in supporting arts and learning facilities for the community. The existing Town Hall theatre accommodation was completely refurbished including installation of new specialist stage lighting, acoustic systems and internal decoration.
Engineering Excellence
Structurally, the project involved Woolgar Hunter in a thorough investigation of the existing building, in order to establish the nature of the construction, followed by careful and sensitive design of the required interventions. Typically, these involved new stairs, lifts and associated structural openings.
The existing structure had to be reassessed for the loadings associated with new functions and new services. In addition, a new glass structure extension at first floor was constructed, to create an extension to the theatre bar and breakout area.
