## About this tender

The Grade II Lowestoft Town Hall was built during the late Victorian period and has been vacant since 2015. It is a prominent landmark on Lowestoft's historic High Street. Now owned by Lowestoft Town Council, grant funding from the Heritage Fund, Towns Fund and East Suffolk Council is supporting a project to restore and extend it.

The restored Town Hall will be transformed into a multifunctional community building - 1,900sqm over two floors - bringing significant footfall to this deprived area.

Lowestoft Town Council and the Registrars will become 'anchor' tenants; the remainder of the building will include a heritage gallery, a café, art gallery, coworking space, meeting rooms and events spaces, around a courtyard garden.

The development of the Town Hall is intended to contribute to economic regeneration, part of a multimillion-pound investment programme in this most easterly town.

### The works consist of

- Demolition of some parts of the current structure/strip out of

later additions to the building.

- Extensive reconfiguration and restoration of the existing

buildings, including conservation of the historic fabric,

including lime plaster, mouldings, original sash windows and

doors, original floors etc and slate roof replacement.

- Construction of a new events space with prep kitchen and bar,

and an art gallery

- M&E throughout including low carbon technologies (air

source heat pumps, PV panels, MVHR etc), fire and security

alarms; lifts; AV support.

- Groundworks, services and landscaping.
