Kresen Kernow will be the new archive centre for Cornwall, bringing together the world’s largest collection of archives, rare books, photographs and recordings about Cornwall in a permanent purpose built home. Alongside a state-of-the-art archive facility, we will be creating two exhibition spaces. The first exhibition space, on the ground floor, will be a flexible space designed in zones to display the breadth of our collections around key interpretation themes, identified during consultation. It should act as a stepping stone to further engagement. The second exhibition space, on the first floor, will be environmentally controlled, enabling us to display more sensitive material and borrow items from national collections. A comprehensive wayfinding scheme is needed throughout the building including all non-statutory signage. The Contract will be delivered in the following two phases: ### Phase 1 – Design ### Phase 2 – Production, and Installation Phase 1 will commence on the Commencement Date (as defined in the Contract Documents). Phase 2 will be conditional and the conditions relating to the commencement of Phase 2 are as set out in the contract documents included with the tender documents.The contract duration will be dependent upon the construction programme for the Kresen Kernow building. It is currently anticipated that the exhibition will be required for opening in 2018 but the Contract includes provision for an extension with an overall longstop date of 30th April 2019.
