Appointed to manage the National Library of Scotland’s existing estate
We have been appointed by the National Library of Scotland as a key supplier to its Professional Property Services Framework.
Recognised as one of the UK’s largest libraries, the National Library of Scotland holds more than 30 million items. Established in 1925, the library consists of a portfolio of iconic buildings including a section within the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow. In Edinburgh, there is the Maps Reading Rooms at Causewayside and the Visitor Centre on George IV Bridge.
The framework, which will run for four years with an option to extend for an additional two years, consists of a fully accessible list of trusted suppliers to help deliver a range of professional services to upgrade and maintain the National Library of Scotland’s existing estate.
As part of a wider design team, our Edinburgh-based real estate team will provide a full scope of professional capabilities, namely project management, cost and commercial management, safety, health and quality, and building information modelling.
Mark Bruce, Project Director, Real Estate, UK, said:
“With an established network of clients in the culture and heritage market here in Scotland and our national expertise in retrofit and refurbishment of existing buildings, we’re delighted to add the National Library of Scotland to the mix and to be part of a very important journey in helping to enhance its existing estate.”
