University of Hull

The design work for the New Hull History Centre commenced in early 2005 and the Library and Archive to house both the City and University archives opened to the public in June 2010.

Areas within the building include reading rooms, conservation rooms, offices, archive stores, lecture theatres, cafe and a covered arcade.

Detailed workshops were held with the Client Stakeholder groups in developing the detail of the design to each space.

• Development of low energy passive design solutions.
• Close Control environment for archive stores to BS5454.
• Highly integrated M&E / Architectural interfaces including a high level of concealment of services.
