This Masterplan addresses all change and development necessary to support the liturgical and activity plans. This first phase of the Masterplan is the '2020s Vision - Investing in our Welcome'. Delivering the 2020s vision will: •Radically improve accessibility within the Cathedral Precinct by providing a new Cloister to connect the Cathedral to the Chapter House and Pearson Cloister Building. •Provide new lighting within the Cathedral and Chapter House to support the activity plan and highlight the historic fabric and artefacts within. •Safeguard the historic fabric by installing a new heating system that focuses on heating the people; not the vast spaces and vaults above. •Safeguard the Cathedral's finances by reducing its carbon footprint by installing sustainable building services; low-energy and efficient. •Safeguard the misericords within the Quire for future generations to enjoy and use through repair, access and interpretation. •Support the activity plan by providing essential facilities for the users; comfort, safeguarding and security as well as WC's! •Create more space for exhibition and interpretation within the Cathedral and Cloister; by creating effective storage space and more roofed space!
