Coalfield Conversations Hub Realisation

Tender description

The National Coal Mining Museum for England was recently awarded a grant through the Heritage Lottery Fund, to both redevelop the welcome area and visitor entranceway and also to improve and redesign wayfaring and signage across the site. As part of the application process a design company was appointed to work with the National Coal Mining Museum for England to develop the strategy and draft an implementation plan and design. The scope of the project is to reconfigure the welcome areas and visitor entrance through the creation of graphics and graphic structures, fit out the areas in keeping with the design brief, provide merchandising and storage cubes, lockers and atrium seating and provide mobile gondola style units for merchandising display. Additional to this the successful partner will install new graphics, potentially 2 and 3 dimensional in form, work with focus groups and consultancy groups to ensure a successful implementation and realisation and work to support the production and installation of new elements being installed as part of the wayfaring programme. A full list of the required items is detailed in the Works Information Documentation.
