We’re looking for an Enabling Works Contractor
Following a successful bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and with support from other grant funders and donors, the Egypt Exploration Society is transforming its premises in Bloomsbury into an accessible, sustainable, and innovative heritage centre as part of our Building the Future campaign. We anticipate the building works to begin in early 2027 and be completed in 2028, after which activity programmes supported by the Heritage Fund will continue to run into 2030. The plans for the redevelopment received approval from Camden Council on 20th March 2024. See planning application 2023/2928/P available here: https://accountforms.camden.gov.uk/planning-search/.
