Project Details

This historic building was constructed in 1862 and is Grade II listed. It is located in the centre of Skipton and houses the administration offices for the town and the Craven Museum.

Planning of the project required careful consideration to minimise disturbance to the Town Hall’s occupants and to maintain public safety in a busy town centre.

Restoration, alteration and extension of the Grade II listed Town Hall provided a multi-function main hall, museum and support facilities, offices, education room, changing rooms and offered stair and lift vertical circulation over two main floor levels, ground to first floor.

Refurbishment and alterations work also included the restoration of the fabric of the building, internal and external alterations. With a new build two-storey extension to the east and new services installations.

A separate contractor undertook the museum fit-out and we as the Main Contractor liaised closely with them throughout the project.
