The Kresen Kernow New Archive Centre project, led by Cornwall Council, is currently in the award stage following the completion of the tender process. The project, which falls within the construction industry, aims to establish a new facility in Redruth, Cornwall, to enhance the storage and accessibility of Cornwall's historical archives. The tender was published on 23 May 2016, with a submission deadline of 17 June 2016. The total estimated value of the project is £12 million, and the awarded contract to Midas Construction Limited commenced on 18 November 2016, expected to be completed by 18 July 2018.

The aim of the Kresen Kernow New Archive Centre in Redruth, Cornwall is to provide a new, fit for purpose archive storage for Cornwall's archive records with improved accessibility combined with exhibition space. The project is funded jointly by Cornwall Council and The Heritage Lottery Fund. The objectives of the Kresen Kernow project are to: o Provide storage for the Archives in accordance with PD5454; o Provide access to the archives for public and education establishments and other interested parties; o Allow extended activities to be developed; o Add value to the community; o Evolve a project that will enhance the site and not have a detrimental effect on its surroundings. 2. Brief Descripton of Works: The works comprise the construction of a new Archive Centre in accordance with PD5454 and the refurbishment / conversion of adjacent Redruth Brewery Building into a public use building.
