Notice Title

The Ruskin Museum & Research Centre UMA Refurbishment Project

Notice Description

**In order to express an interest and bid for this project, please download the documentation from In-Tend, complete and return by 12pm 7th July 2023.** Please submit any clarifications well enough in advance of the deadline that we are able to respond. Located on Lancaster University's Bailrigg Campus, The Ruskin is an award-winning building that houses the Whitehouse Collection of material relating to the artist, critic and environmentalist John Ruskin and his circle. The building comprises a secure archive (a building within a building) that runs from basement to first floor, together with a workshop, kitchen, and toilets in the basement; office, shop and meeting room on ground floor, and exhibition galleries and reading room on the first floor. The Ruskin now requires a programme of works to refurbish and alter the building layout, including the replacement of plant and machinery that is reaching the end of its service life, and installation of high-quality finishes and fittings of the quality of the originals. Refurbishment of The Ruskin Building must meet statutory requirements and the standards and guidelines defined by the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Arts Council England and other funding bodies, to ensure the safety of The Ruskin Whitehouse Collection and to achieve University Museum Accreditation (UMA). The scope of work envisaged includes alterations and upgrades to the building facade (to increase performance and physical security of roof, walls, windows and doors), environmental systems to control the temperature and humidity (including a passive archive and enclosure of the galleries) fire & security alarms and to improve Public Access in the building (new passenger lift and toilet facilities).
